Lotto Max

The launch of Lotto Max was successful, attracting higher revenue in its first 10 months of operation than Super 7 did in its best year of sales.

[1][2] In May 2019, the game introduced major changes, including adding a second weekly drawing on Tuesdays, a maximum jackpot of $70 million, a 7/50 number matrix, and two additional prize tiers.

[5][6] At the same time, Lotto Max switched to using a random number generator for the main draw rather than lottery machines.

Each of these corporations operate a regional add-on games that, for an extra $1 each, can be added to a Lotto Max ticket.

The Atlantic Lottery Corporation offers a second $1 add-on known as "Twist", which adds lines of quick picks that can be matched against the winning numbers of the main drawing for supplemental prizes.

[12][13] The first ever Lotto Max drawing for $60 million occurred on September 25, 2015, with a single winning ticket sold in Brampton.

[14][15] The first ever Lotto Max drawing for $65 million occurred on June 11, 2019, with a single winning ticket in Montreal.

[18] The prize rolled over to Lotto Max's first $80 million draw on September 17, which was split between two winning tickets sold in Ontario and Quebec.

[20] Three consecutive weeks of rollovers fuelled the large payout, which marked the largest Lotto Max drawing under the previous caps.

[29] This was also carried over to the June 22 draw, in which the main jackpot was won by two winning tickets in British Columbia and Ontario.
