A whopping $109 million is up for grabs in the upcoming Lotto Max draw, making it one of the largest jackpots in Canadian history. With such a massive prize on the line, it’s no surprise that millions of Canadians are eagerly awaiting the results.
According to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG), a total of 109 million people are eligible to win in this draw. This includes all residents of Canada who are of legal age to play the lottery.
The draw, which takes place on Friday, December 17th, will see one lucky winner walk away with the entire $109 million jackpot. However, even if you don’t match all seven numbers, there are still plenty of other prizes to be won. In fact, the OLG estimates that a total of 1.9 million prizes will be awarded in this draw.
For those who are feeling lucky and want to try their hand at winning the jackpot, tickets can be purchased at authorized retailers or online through the OLG website. The deadline to purchase tickets is 10:30pm EST on the day of the draw.
The previous record for the largest Lotto Max jackpot was set in 2015, when a group of 20 co-workers from an oil and gas company in Alberta won $60 million. The current $109 million jackpot is the result of 14 consecutive rollovers, with no one matching all seven numbers in the previous draws.
The OLG reminds players to play responsibly and to only spend what they can afford on lottery tickets. They also encourage players to sign their tickets and keep them in a safe place until the draw takes place.
So, will you be one of the 109 million eligible to win in the Lotto Max draw? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – the excitement and anticipation for this record-breaking jackpot is palpable across the country.
