• National Lottery’s maximum jackpot rises to $90 million
• Introduction of new $100,000 prizes announced
• LOTTO MAX ticket prices increase from $5 to $6 to fund enhancements

LOTTO MAX, a prominent national lottery in Canada, managed by provincial organizations like the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), is set to feature a new maximum jackpot of $90 million starting tomorrow, an increase from the previous $80 million.

Introduction of New $100,000 Prizes

The starting jackpot is set at $10 million and increases up to the new cap. Once the jackpot reaches $50 million, MAXMILLIONS, which are additional $1 million prizes, will be introduced.

In addition, a new feature called MAXPLUS will offer multiple $100,000 prizes in every draw, which scale with the jackpot amount. For instance, if the jackpot is $10 million, there will be 10 extra $100,000 prizes available, increasing to 90 prizes if the jackpot reaches $90 million.

Draws will take place every Tuesday and Friday. Since there was no winner on Friday, the estimated jackpot for the next draw is $25 million, along with 25 new MAXPLUS prizes each worth $100,000.

$25 Million Up for Grabs Tomorrow

As reported by OLG, the overall odds of winning any prize have improved from approximately 1 in 7 to 1 in 5.8, while the odds of winning the main jackpot have changed from roughly 1 in 33,294,800 per ticket to 1 in 33,446,140 per ticket.

The cost of a LOTTO MAX ticket will increase from $5 to $6, allowing players to choose 4 sets of 7 numbers, ranging from 1 to 52, to support the enhancements; this is the first price increase in 17 years.

LOTTO MAX is overseen by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, with other national lottery games in Canada including Lotto 6/49 and Daily Grand. LOTTO MAX consistently offers the largest rolling prizes available.
