MONTREAL, June 12, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ – In yesterday’s Lotto Max draw, 20 Maxmillions ($1,000,000 prizes) were won with selections sold in Canada, including 3 in Québec. As such, the next Lotto Max draw on Tuesday, June 15 will offer a total of $128 million, i.e. a $70 million jackpot and 58 prizes of $1 million. Just like the past two draws, next Tuesday’s draw will be the biggest jackpot ever offered in the history of Loto-Québec and all of Canada.
“Lotto Max has hit a record level for the third consecutive draw, with a prize total of $128,000,000. Since January 1, 2017, Quebecers have been very lucky at Lotto Max, since they took home 40% of the jackpots of $50 million and more while representing 19% of the game’s market share,” says Isabelle Jean, President of Operations – Lotteries.
