The Lotto Max jackpot is going to get even bigger this fall.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) says Canada’s biggest lottery game will increase its maximum jackpot to $80 million.
Canadians will still have the chance to win Maxmillions prizes when the jackpot reaches and exceeds $50 million.
The first draw that could reach the new $80 million prize will be on Tuesday, September 10.
Even though the Lotto Max jackpot is getting bigger, the price to play will stay the same at $5 for three selections of seven numbers.
The odds of winning the main jackpot remain at one in 33,294,800 per $5 play, and the overall odds of winning any prize remain at one in seven per $5 play.
When Lotto Max was introduced in 2009, multiple $50 million jackpots a year were unheard of in Canada. It increased the jackpot cap to $60 million in 2015 and then to $70 million in 2019.
