For the last couple of weeks, excitement has grown about the Canada Lotto Max, or its jackpot at least. The jackpot has grown far past the $50 million ceiling, but still not found a winner, so can Canada win the Lotto Max this Friday evening, or will the jackpot grow again? The estimated jackpot total for Friday evening is now $70 million and with the ceiling for the lottery set at $50 million this means twenty additional draws!

The Lotto Max has fast become Canada’s biggest draw and it’s little wonder. The unique way the lottery is played means that it often creates more weekly millionaires than any draw, anywhere in the world and that adds to its appeal. The Lotto Max (play rules) has a jackpot ceiling of $50 million, so with there being a $70 million jackpot pool for the weekend, that means approximately twenty Maxmillions draws!

Lotto Max Maxmillions draws are held every time the Lotto Max tops $50 million and there is one draw for every $1 million the Lotto Max jackpot is over $50 million. A $70 million jackpot total means twenty Maxmillions draws, so there is the potential for another twenty millionaires on Friday evening.

It’s little wonder the draw is so popular across Canada and one of the world’s favourite lottery draws. Despite last week’s lack of winner, five players did match the Maxmillions numbers so even with a rollover, lottery millionaires were still created. Who knows what will happen on Friday evening, but if the Lotto Max rolls, you can guarantee you’ll read about it here on the world lottery news pages.
