The strong performance of Loto-Québec has continued in its second quarter of the financial year.
The company announced total revenues for its Q2, ending September 30, 2024, of CA$814.2m (+16.1 per cent) and a net income of $421.6m (+18.5 per cent).
This brings its total revenus for the 2024-2025 financial year-to-date to $1.504bn (+6.5 per cent) with a net income of $771.3m (+4.7 per cent).
Lottery winners have received nearly $720m in prizes since the current fiscal year began.
"If we're in such a good position halfway through the fiscal year, it's thanks to the work done across all our sectors over the last few months. We obtained excellent results despite the economic context, reinforcing our confidence that we'll reach our net income annual target. Remember that 100 per cent of our profits are reinvested in the community," said president and CEO Jean-François Bergeron.
"Responsible commercialisation has remained a priority in everything we offer. We've created an enhanced program—Wise Play—to consolidate our actions in this field. We proudly launched it in mid-September, along with a campaign raising people's awareness of the importance of setting limits. Among other things, through this programme, we can present a unified message so that a game remains a game."
