Your odds of taking home the $90 million are one in 33 million per $6 play. To put that rare probability into perspective, the likelihood of winning is roughly equal to flipping a coin 25 consecutive times and having it land on heads every single time. According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, you are statistically more likely to be struck by lightning, as those odds are less than one in a million.
While the main prize is the primary focus, the draw carries significant additional weight for participants. Beyond the record-setting $90 million jackpot, the draw includes 20 Maxmillions prizes worth $1 million each and 90 Maxplus prizes valued at $100,000. These secondary prizes provide more opportunities for players as the national lottery continues to see its prize pools grow following recent rollovers.
The current $90 million limit follows an announcement in April by the national lottery to raise the jackpot cap from the previous $80 million limit. The surge to this new maximum occurs after no one claimed the $85-million prize from last Tuesday. Historically, high-value wins in Canada have included an $80.4 million prize claimed in London, Ontario, last December, and an $80 million win by a British Columbia resident in May 2025.
The draw is scheduled for tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET. As the prize pool remains at its record cap, participants across the country wait to see if this week will produce a winner or if the jackpot will continue to roll over into the next scheduled Friday draw.
