Canadians are buying their tickets for the largest jackpot ever offered in this country.
Friday’s record-breaking Lotto Max draw is set at $70 million plus an additional 10 Maxmillions draws for $1 million each.
Lottery officials say that the first-ever chance at a jackpot this large is possible due to changes in the game that were made in May of 2019. Prior to then, the maximum prize payout was $60 million.
In 2019 the jackpot on Lotto Max grew to $65 million three times: in June, October and just a few days ago on December 31st.
In Manitoba, you can purchase tickets until 9:30 pm Friday, January 3, 2020.
If the jackpot is not won it will roll over to the next draw and additional Maxmillions draws will likely be added to the prize pool.
