    In Ontario, 53.6% of the total lottery revenues goes to the prize winners. this is averaged over all the lotteries.

    In Canada, lottery winnings are not subject to income tax, so taxes are not withheld by the lottery commissions/agencies or by casinos.

    In general, the state-run lotteries pay out about half of ticket price in winnings. The winner, of course, will pay about half the winnings in income tax. So the winners are taking home about a fourth of the amount paid for tickets.
