Four Calgary Friends Win $90 Million Lotto Max Jackpot

This is the first claimed jackpot at Lotto Max’s new $90 million cap.

Overview

  • The prize came from the Oct. 20 Lotto Max draw when a ticket matched all seven main numbers and produced the $90 million jackpot.
  • The winners are named as Eidelson Elchico, Lovelyn Malvar, Hazeline Omg and Velna Ramirez, who will each receive about $22.5 million.
  • Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis confirmed the winning ticket was purchased through Play Alberta, the province’s online lottery platform.
  • The four had been friends for about five years and bought the ticket together through a group chat called “Manifesting Millions,” reporting that they first learned of the win after receiving an email notification.
  • The $90 million payout surpasses Alberta’s previous top prize and follows a rule change earlier in 2026 that raised Lotto Max’s maximum jackpot from $80 million to $90 million, with official verification and prize-distribution steps now underway.
