Lotto Max Reaches $90 Million Jackpot

An April rule change added $1‑million Maxmillions and $100,000 Maxplus prizes that lift total top prizes to $119 million.

Overview

  • The jackpot has hit the new $90 million cap and comes with 20 $1 million Maxmillion prizes plus 90 $100,000 Maxplus prizes, creating $119 million in top prizes.
  • Regulators raised the Lotto Max cap from $80 million to $90 million in April and introduced the Maxplus $100,000 tier to expand the prize pool.
  • Odds of winning the $90 million jackpot are 1 in 33.4 million and draws are held twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays after 10:30 p.m.
  • The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation urges players to check and register tickets using the OLG app or retailer checkers because unclaimed prizes total millions and a $40 million ticket sold in Grey County is nearing expiry.
  • Players can join pooled group entries through OLG’s site to spread cost and share winnings, and the Maxplus mechanic adds ten $100,000 prizes for each $10 million increase in the jackpot.
