Lotto Max is one of Canada\u2019s largest national lottery games. Players select seven numbers from 1 to 50, with draws held twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.<\/p>\n

When the Lotto Max jackpot reaches $50 million, additional Maxmillions prizes are offered. Each Maxmillions prize is worth $1 million and is drawn separately from the main jackpot.<\/p>\n

Players should always check their tickets through an authorized lottery retailer or official provincial lottery channels to confirm any prize.<\/p>\n

With the $70-million jackpot still in play following Friday\u2019s draw, Lotto Max players will have another shot at one of the game\u2019s biggest prizes in the next draw.<\/p>\n
