Two lucky Canadians are starting off the new year with a bang, as they have each won a share of the massive $80 million jackpot in the Lotto Max draw.
The winning tickets were sold in Ontario and Quebec, with each ticket holder set to receive a whopping $40 million.
The Ontario ticket was sold in the Greater Toronto Area, while the Quebec ticket was sold in the Laurentians region.
According to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, this is the largest Lotto Max jackpot ever won in the province.
The winning numbers for the draw were 1, 4, 5, 9, 11, 14, 19, and the bonus number was 44.
The odds of winning the Lotto Max jackpot are approximately one in 33 million, making this a truly remarkable and rare occurrence.
The identities of the winners have not yet been revealed, but they will surely be celebrating their newfound wealth and good fortune.
The next Lotto Max draw will take place on January 8, with an estimated jackpot of $10 million.
For those who didn’t win this time, there’s always another chance to try their luck and dream big.
Congratulations to the two lucky winners and may their newfound wealth bring them joy and happiness in the new year.
