Black Friday is the day that a handful of us at The Verge have been preparing months for, in part because it’s happening earlier and earlier. We’ve already lifted the curtain on deals — hundreds of them — including some that we couldn’t tell you about before today, and we have a one-stop shop for everything we’ve published so far. There’s a lot of prep work that goes into pulling this off every year, so instead of making Black Friday a one-way stream of information like usual, we’re hosting an AMA for subscribers.
Do you want a personalized deal pick so that you don’t have to sort through the chaos? I’ll give you some options. Or, perhaps you want to ask questions about our process, or about the deals landscape in general. Those are just some idea starters. Whatever it is you want to ask, ask away. I’ll start answering questions later today at 1PM ET.

In each draw, seven main numbers and one bonus number are randomly picked. To score a prize, you need to match at least three of your numbers with those drawn. In some categories, matching the bonus number can bump up your winnings even more.</p><p>Prizes depend on total ticket sales and are divided across several prize tiers, starting from 4/7 plus bonus and up. Here's the typical prize breakdown:</p><ul>
<li><strong>7/7 (jackpot)</strong> — average of $47.5 million (an estimate of that draw's jackpot is shown when you buy your ticket)</li>

<li><strong>3/7</strong> — free play </li>
</ul><p>The Lotto Max jackpot begins at $10 million and can soar up to a massive $80 million if unclaimed. When it hits $50 million, additional $1 million Maxmillions prizes kick in, each with its own unique seven-number draw. Each time the jackpot is won, it starts back over again at $10 million.</p><p>All three sets on your ticket enter the main draw, and if Maxmillions are available, they're included in those separate draws as well. To win a Maxmillions prize, you need to match all seven numbers on one line.</p><p>Tickets are available for purchase until 10:30 p.m. ET on the night of each draw.</p><p>While the odds of hitting the jackpot are about 1 in 33 million, your chance of winning any prize is approximately 1 in 7.</p><p>Good luck, Montreal!</p><p><em>If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, refer to <a href="https://aidejeu.ca/en/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">these resources available across Quebec</a>.
