Tuesday's Lotto Max draw set to hit all-time Canadian record of $80 million after no Friday winner
In a Canadian lotto first, the national Lotto Max jackpot has reached an estimated $80 million.
The draw for this unprecedented amount as well as 18 $1-million Maxmillion prizes is set for Tuesday, Sept. 17.
Earlier this month, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation announced that it was increasing its top Lotto Max jackpot by $10 million to a maximum of $80 million.
Friday, Sept. 13’s draw was an estimated $75 million, however no one won, meaning that the top prize has now hit $80 million. The number of Maxmillions prizes will also go up.
The top Lotto Max prize will reset to $10 million once there’s a winner. Unclaimed Maxmillion prizes go back into the pot.
Draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays.
