A record $90 million Lotto Max jackpot is up for grabs Friday, marking the largest lottery prize in Canadian history. The prize pool grew after Tuesday night’s draw went unclaimed, allowing the amount to increase ahead of the next draw.
The unclaimed prize, which originally started at $20 million, has now reached $90 million due to the rollover. Lotto Max is a popular lottery game in Canada, known for its high jackpots and the chance to win life-changing sums.
This is the first time in the game’s history that the jackpot has reached such a high amount. The next draw, scheduled for Friday, will offer the opportunity for a single winner to claim the entire prize. The odds of winning remain extremely low, with a chance of approximately one in 14 million.
Lotto Max has been a staple of Canadian lottery games for years, with previous record-breaking jackpots drawing widespread attention. The current prize is expected to attract significant interest from players across the country.
The lottery is managed by the Province of Ontario, which operates the game in partnership with other provinces. Winners are required to claim their prize within 180 days of the draw. The current jackpot remains the largest in the game’s history, highlighting the growing popularity of high-stakes lottery games in Canada.
