Another huge jackpot

TORONTO - Lotto Max is offering up another big jackpot tonight with an estimated $50 million, plus an estimated 29 Maxmillions prizes of $1 million each.

This is the ninth time that Lotto Max has been in Maxmillions mode since the game launched in September 2009.

"Lotto Max, especially when the game is in Maxmillions mode, continues to create more millionaires across the country," said Wendy Montgomery, Vice-President of Lottery Marketing.

"We're excited that with the jackpot sitting at an estimated $50 million plus an estimated 29 Maxmillions, Ontario players will have more chances to win big."

When Lotto Max is in Maxmillions mode, consumers will see the green 'plus' symbol at retailers and in advertising. This indicates that the Lotto Max jackpot is estimated at $50 million plus the number of additional Maxmillions draws that are also estimated.

Maxmillions prizes are drawn separately from the Lotto Max jackpot draw, which means that a Lotto Max ticket not only gives players a chance at $50 million but also the chance to win any of the $1 million Maxmillions draws on the same date.
