There's big money up for grabs with the latest Lotto Max jackpot and you could be $70 million richer if you win.

The draw takes place on June 1 and there's a total of $88 million in prizes available, including the massive $70 million jackpot and approximately 18 $1 million Maxmillions.

This is the highest the Lotto Max jackpot can get; it only reached this point after the $65 million grand prize wasn't won on May 28 and only two Maxmillions were won by picks in the Prairies.

If you want to throw your hat in the ring for a chance at winning the prize, tickets are sold until 10:30 p.m. ET on draw nights.

Past $70-million jackpots have even been won by people who have played Lotto Max for the first time or used a free play to get their winning ticket.
