How does Lotto Max work?

Lotto Max is a Canada-wide lottery game. Draws happen twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

For every $5 play that you buy, you get three sets of seven numbers between 1 and 50.

In order to win, a single set must have three, four, five, six or seven numbers that match the winning numbers. Certain prize categories also allow you to make use of a bonus number, which is selected at each draw.

Here's what matching numbers could win you, on average:

• 7/7 — jackpot (an average of $47,493,142)
• 6/7 plus bonus — approximately $194,40
• 6/7 — approximately $4,629
• 5/7 plus bonus — approximately $926
• 5/7 — approximately $105
• 4/7 plus bonus — approximately $50
• 4/7 — approximately $20
• 3/7 plus bonus — approximately $20
• 3/7 — free play

The Lotto Max jackpot starts at $10 million, and if not won, it increases each draw up to $70 million. Once the jackpot reaches $50 million, there are also Maxmillions available — additional $1 million prizes to be won.

All three sets of numbers you get with a $5 play are eligible for both the main draw and the Maxmillions draw. To win Maxmillions, you need all seven numbers to be identical to one of the Maxmillions draw selections.

Tickets are sold until 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the days the Lotto Max numbers are drawn.

Your odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800 per play.
