You’ve seen big Lotto Max jackpots before. But you've never seen anything this big. Friday's Lotto Max jackpot is a record-breaking $70 million – the biggest lottery jackpot ever offered in Canada!
The record-breaking jackpot comes after a change to the game in May allowed Lotto Max prizes to grow past the former $60 million maximum. Jackpots of $65 million have now been offered on three occasions: in June, in October and on Dec. 31.
Now, this Friday, Jan. 3, offers Canadians their first-ever chance at the new maximum. Plus, every selection issued for Friday's draw will have even more chances to win. There will be an estimated 10 Maxmillions draws - additional draws for prizes of $1 million each.
Lotto Max tickets for this record jackpot can be purchased until 9:30 p.m. CT on Friday evening. Results will be posted to www.sasklotteries.ca as soon as possible after the draws.
Starting on Saturday morning, players can also check their tickets in these ways:
* Scan tickets with the WCLC Lottery Manager mobile app, available for iOS and Android devices at the App Store and Google Play Store; or
* Check at retail on winning numbers lists, self-serve ticket checkers, and by validation at the terminal.
