Larger Than Life! LOTTO MAX Lights it Up with Record-Breaking $113 Million in Prizing; $60 Million Plus 53 $1 Million MAXMILLIONS Prizes

TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - As the world buzzes about the huge jackpots offered south of the border, there is a record-breaking jackpot right here on Canadian soil! Our homegrown LOTTO MAX lottery has its highest top prize offering ever – an enormous $60 million (estimated) jackpot plus an estimated 53 additional and separate MAXMILLIONS prizes worth $1 million each. That's a smoking hot $113 million for the taking on Friday, October 19!

Why stay and play in Canada, EH?

• Tax-Free: Unlike in the United States, lottery prizes in Canada aren't taxed. If you win the $60 million LOTTO MAX jackpot, you keep it all!
• Better Odds: The odds of winning LOTTO MAX are 1 in 28 million – a long shot some may say but much better than the one in 258 million odds that the lottery south of the border offers.
• Easier to Play: Players can buy their LOTTO MAX ticket at any of our 10,000 retailers across Ontario or even online at PlayOLG.ca. No border crossings!
• More Chances of Winning: With LOTTO MAX in MAXMILLIONS mode, this Friday players have 54 chances to win a prize of $1 million or more with just one ticket!
• All for Here: Proceeds from the sale of LOTTO MAX tickets go directly back to benefitting Canadians.

Since its launch in September 2009, Ontario LOTTO MAX players have won over $4.4 billion, including 60 jackpot wins and 475 MAXMILLIONS prizes, right across the province.

For each $5 play, LOTTO MAX players receive three sets of seven numbers ranging from one to forty-nine. Players must match all seven numbers, in any one set, to win the jackpot or the MAXMILLIONS prizes.

Players can purchase tickets at authorized OLG retailers or buy online at PlayOLG.ca until 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday, October 19, 2018 for the draw that evening.
