How does Lotto Max work?
Lotto Max is one of the biggest lottery games in Canada, with draws happening twice a week — every Tuesday and Friday.
For $5, you get three sets of seven numbers, each ranging from 1 to 50. To win a prize, you need to match at least three numbers from one of your sets with the winning numbers. Some prize categories also use a bonus number, which is drawn alongside the regular ones.
Prizes are based on ticket sales and are split among the winners in each prize tier. Here's a look at the typical payouts based on how many numbers you match:
- 7/7 — jackpot (an average of $47.5 million)
- 6/7 + bonus — an average of $194,405
- 6/7 — an average of $4,629
- 5/7 + bonus — an average of $926
- 5/7 — an average of $105
- 4/7 + bonus — an average of $50
- 4/7 — $20 fixed prize
- 3/7 + bonus — $20 fixed prize
- 3/7 — free play
The Lotto Max jackpot starts at $10 million and grows each time it's not won, up to a maximum of $80 million. Once the jackpot hits $50 million, Maxmillions — additional $1 million prizes with their own unique set of numbers — come into play.
All three sets of numbers on your $5 ticket are entered into both the main draw and any Maxmillions draws. To win a Maxmillions prize, you'll need to match all seven numbers with one of the Maxmillions draw selections.
You can grab your tickets right up until 10:30 p.m. ET on draw days.
The odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800, but your chances of winning any prize are about 1 in 7.
Good luck, Canada!
