Over the last few months, it’s been the Lotto Max making all the lottery headlines but this week as the Canada Lotto 649 rolls to $15 million it seems that the original Canadian Lottery is fighting back! Despite a $10.7 million jackpot on Saturday evening, no one matched all the winning numbers in the Canada Lotto 649 and that means that Wednesday’s jackpot is up to a massive $15 million! In a twist of fate, the Lotto Max also rolled on Friday, so that’s up to $15 million too!
The biggest Lotto 649 winners on Saturday evening were the four players matching the second tier prize. These winners collected $74,542 each for matching five main balls and the bonus in the twice-weekly Canadian Lottery draw.
This means the jackpot rolled over, and on Wednesday evening, lottery players will have a massive $15 million to play for! Add this to the roll on the Lotto Max Canada on Friday evening, and Canadian Lottery players have a massive $30 million to play for this week!
It’s also worth remembering, that unlike the big US lottery draws, there is no tax on Canadian Lottery jackpots, so whatever the jackpot is set at, this is what will be won. No annuity option, no Uncle Sam, just a big lottery jackpot to change your life! Lottery tickets are on sale now for both draws, and we’ll be back later in the week with all the news and results from the draw!
