How does Lotto Max work?
Lotto Max is one of the biggest lottery games in Canada, with draws happening twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
For $5, each play gives you three sets of seven numbers ranging from 1 to 50. To win a prize, you need to match at least three numbers in one set with the numbers drawn. Some prize tiers also involve a bonus number, which is picked along with the regular numbers.
Prize amounts vary depending on ticket sales and are shared among the winners in each category. Here’s an idea of what you could win:
- 7/7 (jackpot) — average of $47.5 million
- 6/7 plus bonus — average of $194,405
- 6/7 — average of $4,629
- 5/7 plus bonus — average of $926
- 5/7 — average of $105
- 4/7 plus bonus — average of $50
- 4/7 — $20 fixed prize
- 3/7 plus bonus — $20 fixed prize
- 3/7 — free play
The Lotto Max jackpot starts at $10 million and can grow as high as $80 million if it’s not won. Once the jackpot reaches $50 million, Maxmillions are added — additional $1 million prizes that players can win.
All three sets of numbers on your $5 ticket are entered into the main draw, and if there are Maxmillions, they’re included for those draws too. To win a Maxmillions prize, you’ll need to match all seven numbers in a set.
Tickets can be purchased until 10:30 p.m. ET on the night of the draw.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800, but your chances of winning any prize are roughly 1 in 7.
Good luck, Montreal!
