Canada's Lotto Max jackpot surges to record $90 million for Friday's draw

A total of 18 Maxmillions prizes worth $1 million each and at least 90 Maxplus prizes valued at $100,000 each are available for the upcoming drawing. These secondary rewards accompany the main jackpot, which has reached a milestone never before seen in Canadian lottery history. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation confirmed that the top prize climbed to this record level because no winning ticket matched all seven numbers during the Tuesday night event. The sequence of numbers drawn on Tuesday night was 7, 11, 19, 28, 32, 35, 50, with 36 as the bonus. While the grand prize remains elusive, other participants in the Greater Toronto Area saw success. Specifically, two winning Maxmillions tickets of $1 million each were sold in Whitby and Hamilton, while shared tickets worth $500,000 each were purchased in Toronto and Mississauga. The move to a $90 million cap was announced by Lotto Max in April, and this marks the first time the lottery has reached this specific threshold since the previous limit of $80 million was raised. Previous jackpots were historically claimed before reaching the new upper limit, making this current prize the largest ever offered to Canadian players. Lottery officials expect high engagement as the record-setting figure continues to draw interest across the country. The next opportunity for players to secure the jackpot will occur on Friday, October 16.
