Canada's second largest lottery payout this Friday
"We're excited for Ontarians buying Lotto Max tickets this week. Now that we are in MAXMILLIONS mode, there are more opportunities to win a large prize with each ticket," said Greg McKenzie, Senior Vice President of Lottery at OLG.
When LOTTO MAX reaches its jackpot cap of $50 million, the draw moves into MAXMILLIONS mode. This means that players have the chance to win the jackpot as well as a number of additional $1 Million prizes. This Friday's draw will include nine separate prizes of $1 million each. Winning a MAXMILLIONS prize is similar to winning the main jackpot - a player must match all seven winning numbers drawn for that prize.
"If no-one wins the jackpot this week, there is the potential that we will move to a record prize money offering exceeding $60 Million next week," said McKenzie.
