WHAT IS CANADA LOTTO MAX?
Lotto Max is one of three national lotteries in Canada. The lottery was launched in 2009 and is operated by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC). The lottery corporation is jointly owned by five provincial lottery commissions and revenue generated from the national lottery is paid out proportionately to the different regions depending on ticket sales.
The national lottery replaced Lotto Super 7. Lotto Max is a 7/50 game that is drawn twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
CA$ 5 buys you three sets of numbers. Each board includes two additional Quick Picks which is where the lottery terminal randomly generates lucky numbers for you. Players pick 7 numbers from a pool of 1 to 50 numbers. To win Lotto Max, players must match 7 out of the 7 draw numbers.
The Lotto Max jackpot starts at CA$ 10 million and if there is no lucky winner in a draw, the jackpot rolls over. The Canada Lotto Max jackpot is capped at CA$70 million. After the jackpot hits CA$ 50 million, additional drawings are held in an auxiliary account to fund the MaxMillions prizes. Each MaxMillions prize is CA$ 1 million each.
Other Lotto Max games
Other regions in Canada run similar versions to the Canada Lotto Max. Loto-Québec and Western Canada Lottery Corporation local versions of Lotto Max, including Québec Max and Western Max. The draws for these two lotteries are held on the same nights as Lotto Max which is every Tuesday and Friday.
The difference between Lotto Max and Québec Max and Western Max is the jackpot is fixed at CA$ 2 million. The latter two lotteries included additional drawings from a pool of 7 numbers for Québec and a pool of 10 for Western Canada for an extra CA$ 1 million draw per region.
Players can choose between playing Lotto Max and the regional games or both by indicating their choice on their betslip.
Loto-Québec is different to Lotto Max and Western Max because it is the only region out of all 5 regions that allows players to manually select all 3 sets on a board for CA$ 5. The other two regional games give players the option of selecting one set manually but the 2nd and 3rd set are generated randomly by the lottery terminal in the form of QuickPick.
Each region offers add-on games for an extra CA$ 1 for each game. There are different names for the add-on games such as Tag, Encore or Extra depending on the region. How the add-on games work is the terminal adds a 6- or 7-digit number to the ticket to win a top cash prize that ranges from CA$ 250 000 in Western Canada to CA$ 1 million in Ontario and Québec.
Who owns Lotto Max?
Lotto Max in Canada is operated by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC). The lottery organisation is jointly owned by five provincial lottery commissions and has its headquarters in Toronto, Ontario.
ILC was established in 1976 and given license to operate joint lottery games throughout Canada. It is responsible for 4 popular lottery games:
Lotto Max
Lotto 6/49
Daily Grand
Celebration (special event lottery)
Each of the five provincial organisations markets Lotto Max within its jurisdiction and revenue from Lotto Max goes to each province in proportion to its lottery ticket sales.
Biggest Lotto Max payouts
CA$ 55 million was won in 2015 by a group of 20 employees who bought their lucky winning ticket from a store in Québec. It was the first jackpot won after the lottery rules changed that allowed the main Lotto Max jackpot to exceed CA$ 50 million.
At the time, this big lotto win was the second-largest payout in Canada’s lottery history. It fell a few million short of the CA$ 63 million payout in 2013 on Lotto 6/49.
In June 2019, Lotto Max broke Lotto 6/49’s record when it paid out CA$ 60 million to a single ticket holder in Montreal.
Canada waited with bated breath at the start of 2020 as the Lotto Max jackpot reached CA$ 70 million for the first time ever. There’s a lucky winner out there in Canada whose life will change forever if his or her 7 lucky numbers match the drawn numbers in the next draw.
Breaking news!
A lucky player won the CA$ 70 million jackpot in January 2020. The ticket was sold in Brampton in Ontario. In addition to the massive lottery payout, there were 25 MaxMillion prizes to be won so no doubt, there are a few very happy players out there.
What changes have been made to Lotto Max?
The Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC) made the following changes to Lotto Max in May 2019:
Lotto Max draws take place twice a week. A Tuesday draw was added to the weekly Friday draw.
The Lotto Max jackpot cap was increased from CA$ 60 million to CA$ 70 million.
MaxMillions are added when the main jackpot reaches CA$ 50 million. This is unchanged.
The pool of numbers increased from 49 to 50. Players now pick numbers in the first set from a main pool of 1 to 50 numbers.
Two new lower-tier prize divisions have been added. To win these lower prizes, players must match 5 of the 7 drawn numbers plus the Bonus number and/or 4 of the 7 drawn numbers plus the Bonus number. This change increased the prize divisions from 7 to 9.
Although the overall payout of the game for prizes remains at 48% of ticket sales, the percentages within the pool fund changed to accommodate the two new prize categories.
Players have the option to bet on up to 52 consecutive Lotto Max draws when selected in advance.

South Africa doesn’t observe DST. The time of the next draw for Lotto Max is advertised on the website of any licensed betting service or lottery mobile app you use to purchase your ticket.
Why Lotto Max draw times are different
Only one draw takes place when the Lotto Max jackpot is under CA$ 50 million.
When the jackpot is over CA$ 50 million and the MaxMillions draws are in play, each CA$ 1 million prize has a separate draw which takes place at different times.
What is Quick Pick?
When you mark the Quick Pick box on your betslip (or tell the cashier to select it), the lottery terminal automatically generates 6 random numbers for you for the draw.
The Quick Pick random number generator for a lottery draw game has no built-in memory. Once a set of numbers is picked for one play, the terminal resets itself to generate a fresh batch of completely random number for the next play.
Players generally opt to use Quick Pick because it saves them the bother of coming up with their own set of unique numbers.
With Lotto Max, you get three sets on a board for one play. The first set can be picked manually and the second and third set are selected by the terminal machine as if it’s a Quick Pick. You can opt to use Quick Pick to choose your 7 lucky numbers in the first set.
What happens when the Lotto Max jackpot reaches CA$ 50 million?
The Lotto Max jackpot was previously capped at CA$ 50 million but this limit was increased and the jackpot can roll over to a maximum of CA$ 70 million. The starting jackpot is CA$ 10 million and rolls over until there is a winner or the jackpot reaches CA$ 50 million.
The 7/7 jackpot cap is applied when the jackpot reaches this limit. Each CA$ 1 million that the jackpot rolls over the cap of CA$ 50 million is drawn as a separate CA$ 1 million payout known as MaxMillions prizes.
For each MaxMillions draw, 7 numbers are drawn from a pool of 1 to 50 numbers. To win a MaxMillions prize, a player must match all 7 lucky drawn numbers. If there is more than one winner, the MaxMillions cash prize is shared among the lucky winners.
Lotto Max with Combination Play

Western Max
You can choose your own lucky numbers or use Combo Play Quick Pick. Combo Play also allows you to participate in up to 10 draws in advance.
With a Combo Play ticket, you win the same prizes as the regular game but because you have multiple game selections, you stand the chance of winning multiple prizes.
The way Combo Play works is you play the same way as if you have a single ticket but the lottery terminal adds two Quick Pick combinations to your ticket.
If you play ENCORE with Combo Play, you or the terminal adds one extra number for a chance to win the CS$250 000 top prize or CA$ second prize.

TIPS ON HOW TO PLAY & WIN CANADA LOTTO MAX
Canada Lotto Max is a game of chance and there is no accurate way to predict the numbers that will be drawn each day. However, you can increase your chance of winning a lottery payout by being in the game more often.
You can do this in 4 ways:
Participate in multiple draws so you’re always in the game.
Start a lottery pool in the office or with family and friends so you can pool your money. This allows you to purchase more tickets more often and increases your chance of winning great cash prizes betting on the USA Powerball.
Join a lottery syndicate where tickets are bought in bulk. A syndicate has increased buying power and players participate in more draws more often when in a syndicate. It’s estimated that one in every 4 lottery jackpots is won in the UK by a lottery syndicate.
Remember to check your daily ticket. It’s amazing how many lottery winnings are not claimed by players. Always write your name and number on the back of your ticket in case you lose it.
WHY CANADA LOTTO MAX IS POPULAR
When Lotto Max was launched in 2009, it attracted higher revenue in its first 10 months of operation than Super 7 did in its best year of sales. The reason why Lotto Max is so popular is largely due to the size of its total prize pools. These often get as big as the major lotteries in the United States.
There is also a perception that the MaxMillions prizes has increased players chance of winning a big payout.
Other changes have been implemented which adds to the appeal of Lotto Max. This includes adding an extra draw on Tuesday, increasing the jackpot cap, increasing the number field and adding two additional prize divisions.
CANADA LOTTO MAX MYTHS
There are many myths that circulate online that create the impression that players can elude the odds and win big cash prizes betting on lotteries such as the Canada Lotto Max. Don’t be fooled by these myths and use common sense when betting on any lottery.
Here are 10 common lottery myths:
Myth 1: You stand a better chance of winning the lottery if you use Quick Pick
The lottery system draws numbers using a random algorithm and numbers picked manually or using Quick Pick have an equal chance of being drawn. There is no proof that Quick Pick creates more winners. Quick Pick is convenient and saves you from having to come up with your own numbers all the time.
Myth 2: Every number combination has the same probability
The thinking is that when you combine numbers, the probability changes and the probability of your number combination depends on its structure. Some combinations will appear more often than others and some combinations are not likely to appear.
Myth 3: You can pick winning numbers by studying past lottery results
The lottery does not work on individual numbers. You have to pick 5 or 6 correct numbers to win a cash prize. The thinking is if you look at combination patterns rather than individual numbers and you use mathematics with binomial coefficients and a detailed probability analysis, it is possible to determine winning number combinations.
Myth 4: You cannot predict winning numbers on a lottery game
The thinking is that you can tell how a pattern performs in a given number of draws by multiplying probability by the number of draws to get the estimation.
Myth 5: Picking hot numbers gives you a better chance of winning
This is where players pick the most common numbers that have occurred in the past 100 draws. According to the probability theory, every number has an equal chance of being drawn but if a single number appears at a higher frequency, then the other numbers will occur more or less in the same frequency over a large number of trials.
Myth 6: The best time to play the lottery is when the jackpot is big
Actually, this is the ‘worst time’ to play the lottery because big jackpots attract substantially more lottery players. There’s a good chance that if you win a big payout on a lottery with a big jackpot, you will have to share it with other lucky winning players.
Myth 7: Number 13 is an unlucky number
This is an ‘old-wives’ tale because there are no unlucky or unlucky numbers. All numbers have the same theoretical probability of being drawn.
Myth 8: Prime numbers are drawn more often
Again, the argument is to look at number combinations rather than individual numbers. What is known is that playing all-odd numbers or all-even numbers reduces your chance of winning a lottery payout because numbers like this in a combination rarely occur.
Myth 9: It’s not a good idea to use dates for special occasions
Lottery experts tell you not to use numbers that are dates for birthdays, anniversaries or your children’s ages because they are poor numbers. It’s not because they’re poor numbers but because they’re likely to be used by many other people. This means that a jackpot payout will be shared with many players.
Myth 10: Select numbers using a visual pattern
The only reason you would pick numbers on a board using a pattern such as a zig-zag or up-down-sideways pattern is if you’ve run out of inspiration to manually pick your own numbers. In this case, use the QuickPick option and the machine will randomly generate numbers for you.

On a general note, don’t be taken by any of lottery scam that promises you unexpected prize money for a competition or lottery that you have never entered.
Operators of state lotteries such as Canada Lotto Max will never contact you directly to notify you of a prize you have won. If you receive a message or phone call telling you that you’ve won a prize, it is a scam. Never give out your personal and identity details if requested and never pay a fee to receive a so-called cash prize.
How lottery scams work
Someone contacts you either by email, text message or phone to say you have won a lot of money on a competition using your name and details from something like a promotion or research survey. You are requested to pay a fee to claim your prize which is to cover the cost of transferring the money to your account.
You’re also asked to provide your banking details where the money should be paid out. The email or text is always ‘urgent’ and you’re told to respond quickly or risk losing out on the prize money.
The scammers make money from the ‘fee’ you pay them or they use your banking details to take wipe out your bank account.
People do fall for these lottery scams because the scammers are masters at what they do. They usually have obtained your personal information which makes it sound like a legitimate deal. Sometimes, the scammers even send you money as ‘part of your winnings’. This cheque will bounce but often only after you have given them more information and money they ask for.
Warning signs of a lottery scam
You receive correspondence via email, text or phone to say you’ve won a guaranteed prize in a lottery or competition but you never bought a ticket or entered the competition.
The scammer claims you are a winner using personal email and social media information that makes it look genuine.
To claim your prize, the scammers ask you to buy pay a fee or tax on the prize money.
You’re asked to provide personal details such as your ID and contact details such as a postal address as well as banking details for the electronic transfer.
What to do if you are approached by a lottery scammer
Ignore anything that is suspicious. Do not even reply to a message saying you’ve won a large cash prize or even something like a fancy holiday, electronic goods or gifts.
Never pay a fee to win a prize. Ithuba National Lottery does not charge a fee for any prize-winning transaction and the only way they can access your banking details is from the authorised Prize Claim Form that you are required to complete.
Don’t trust anyone who asks you to send them money or give your credit card, banking details or copies of personal information in exchange for prize money.
