How does Lotto Max work?
Lotto Max is one of Canada’s biggest lottery games, with draws taking place twice a week — every Tuesday and Friday.
Each $5 ticket gives you three sets of seven numbers, ranging from 1 to 50. To win a prize, you’ll need to match at least three numbers from one of your sets with the ones drawn. Some prize categories even use a bonus number, which is drawn along with the main numbers.
The prize amounts depend on ticket sales and are split among the winners in each tier. Here’s a breakdown of what you could win:
- 7/7 (jackpot) — average of $47.5 million (but you’ll always know what the jackpot is when you buy your ticket)
- 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 no one wins. Once the jackpot hits $50 million, extra $1 million Maxmillions prizes are added to the mix, giving you even more chances to win big.
All three of your sets of numbers are entered into the main draw, and if Maxmillions are in play, they’re included in those draws too. To snag a Maxmillions prize, you’ll need to match all seven numbers in a single set.
You can grab your tickets until 10:30 p.m. ET on draw nights.
While the odds of hitting the jackpot are about 1 in 33 million, your chances of winning any prize are around 1 in 7.
Good luck, Canada!
