The Lotto Max jackpot stood at CA$12 million during its last draw on Tuesday, November 16, 2021. Unfortunately, for all ticket holders from Canada, the jackpot remained intact. None of the purchased tickets for the round managed to guess correctly the winning combination, and thus the main prize will grow even bigger for the next draw on Friday.
The draw-based game is a nationwide played lottery offering that can offer a jackpot in the amount of the stunning CA$70 million. Once the jackpot reaches CA$50 million, the draws also feature several Maxmillion prizes, which estimates to be a hefty CA$1 million prize each. Tickets for the game are available in both land-based retailers and online.
Now Even Larger Prize
Due to the jackpot being left out unclaimed during Tuesday’s draw, it will now stand at an even bigger amount. The next draw is scheduled for Friday, November 19, 2021, and the main prize will be in the size of the life-changing CA$17 million. In order to be part of the draw, lottery players must purchase their tickets before the deadline which is right before the draw.
More lottery highlights from the country this week, include the winning of a hefty CA$1,000,000 prize by a Saskatoon resident. This has been the third lottery win in Saskatoon over the course of the last few weeks, each being at least CA$1 million.

While at Sask Lotteries office to claim her prize bag, Ms. Longman shared that she was in complete shock after finding out that she had won such a big amount from the lottery.
