From children’s playgrounds to international competitions, “Rock, Paper, Scissors” has always been a super popular game. But, for the first time, Ontario adults can play and win with a new twist on this classic game. Today, lottery terminals are buzzing with the new ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS (R-P-S) game. R-P-S tickets are now available for purchase at local lottery retailers in Ontario and offer daily prizes of up to $1 million with each $3 play. “Rock, Paper, Scissors” is a phenomenon all over the world and we wanted to engage customers in a new way to play this classic game for great cash prizes,” said Greg McKenzie, Senior Vice President of Lottery, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). “R-P-S offers players a one-of-a-kind experience as they challenge us by selecting Rock, Paper or Scissors.”

How does R-P-S work

For each $3 play, customers select either Rock (R), Paper (P) or Scissors (S) or the Quick Pick option for 14 rounds. Every night, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation draws either Rock, Paper or Scissors for 14 rounds. But, R-P-S is not a traditional matching game, to win a round, the player’s “throw” must beat OLG’s “throw” – Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beat Paper, Paper beats Rock. R-P-S offers daily prizes of up to $1 million with a top prize for winning all 14 rounds. The other prizes are determined by the number of rounds won on the ticket. Since R-P-S prizing is limited to a maximum of three top prizes of up to $1 million, the overall prize payout can be of a maximum of $4 million per day. Lottery numbers
