Players chasing the Lotto Max jackpot are staring down a $102 million total prize pool this Friday, with $80 million held in the main jackpot alone. This massive sum comes just in time for the Thanksgiving long weekend, as the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation confirms the prize has continued to grow following Tuesday's draw.
For those participating in the October 9 draw, the stakes have risen significantly. Beyond the primary $80 million grand prize, the draw features an estimated 14 MAXMILLIONS prizes worth $1 million each and 80 MAXPLUS prizes valued at $100,000 each. This combination of prizes creates a total of $102 million in top-tier awards available in a single evening, providing numerous opportunities for participants across the province to secure a major payout.
According to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, millions were already claimed during Tuesday’s session, with major prizes distributed to players in communities throughout Ontario. These smaller wins set the stage for what lottery officials describe as one of the most exciting draws of the season.
Participants are encouraged to verify their tickets immediately to ensure no winnings go unclaimed from previous draws. Players can check their tickets through the OLG mobile application or by visiting an authorized lottery retailer in their local area to see if they hold a winning slip.
