Hot on the heels of the success of the first ‘Quest for Gold’ lottery, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is proud to launch a second version of the $20 INSTANT game that supports Ontario’s amateur athletes.

The lottery, first launched in January 2006, funds the Quest for Gold Ontario Athlete Assistance Program (OAAP) which provides financial support to Ontario's amateur high performance athletes for living and training costs, as well as post-secondary tuition support. Click Here to read more

In the first payout, the lottery saw approximately $1.9 million divided up among Ontario’s athletes, $558,000 directed towards coaching through the Canadian Sport Centre/Ontario, and another $279,000 allocated to help with training and competitions through the Sports Alliance of Ontario.

Through the ‘Quest for Gold’ lottery and Active 2010 (Ontario’s sport and physical activity strategy) sport initiatives, more of our athletes are training in Ontario with increased opportunities to achieve international podium success.
