In Canada, there are four nationwide lotteries: the Lotto 6/49, Lotto Max (which replaced the Lotto Super 7 in September 2009), Daily Grand and Millionaire Life. They are operated by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, a consortium of provincial/territorial lotteries that are owned by their respective governments. The provinces/territories also operate local lotteries, such as the Atlantic Provinces Lottery Corporation, Loto-Québec and Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. Lotteries are also operated in New Zealand by an autonomous Crown entity, Lotto New Zealand, and the proceeds are distributed by the Lottery Grants Board to various charities and community organizations.
