In Quebec 49, a selection is composed of 6 different numbers from 1 to 49. Prizes can be won in six different categories: 6/6, 5/6+, 5/6, 4/6, 3/6 and 2/6+. To win, a single selection must contain 3, 4, 5 or 6 numbers that match the winning selection. The bonus number, represented by the "+" symbol, is associated only with the categories 2/6+ and 5/6+.

The Quick Pick selection is a wager generated by the Loto-Québec computer. Simply ask the retailer for the number of Quick Picks (up to 10 per ticket) and draws you want.
Launched in October 2002, the Replay Option allows you to renew the ticket’s selections for upcoming draws when the ticket is validated. The main advantage is that you do not need to keep your selection slip or fill one out every time you wish to replay your favourite selection.
With the Replay Option, all tickets can be replayed. Replayed tickets contain the same selections and Extra numbers as the original ticket. A non-participating Extra number on the original ticket can be activated for the replayed ticket. A ticket can be replayed in the 30 days following the date of the last draw and you can change the number of draws for which you want to replay your ticket.
