Canadian provincial lotteries have confirmed that last Friday’s Lotto Max jackpot has made it through another round. The mega prize once more stood at CA$70,000,000, but no ticket holder matched the winning numbers drawn on Friday, October 14, 2022.

Lotto Max is among the top choices when it comes to the lottery in Canada and it rightfully so, as it offers a maximum main prize of CA$70 million. The game is drawn twice a week, once on Tuesday and once on Friday. And once the prize goes above CA$50,000,000, every draw also comes with several CA$1 million Maxmillion prizes, which can accumulate for the next round.
