I live outside Nova Scotia - is there any way I can purchase draw tickets?

Unfortunately, we are required to restrict ticket sales to Nova Scotia residents as a condition of our lottery licenses.

Draw ticket purchases are not considered tax-deductible donations under the terms of our lottery licenses, so unfortunately we can’t issue tax receipts for them.
