The Jackpot race is on for Canada Lotto

18/02/2011 09:19:06

We’ve had our eye on both the Lotto Max and the Canada Lotto 6/49 for a couple of weeks now as multiple rollovers have caused both jackpots to climb. The Lotto Max was way ahead on jackpot totals last week, but another midweek rollover for the Lotto 6/49 means that the jackpot race is on for the Canada Lotto and both jackpots are neck and neck. Choosing one draw or the other this weekend will be a difficult choice for lottery players, who really are spoiled with over $80 million to play for!

First up is the Lotto Max and that draw takes place in Canada this evening. After no jackpot winner on Friday evening, the Lotto Max jackpot is now $43 million and no winner this week will surely mean the draw will reach its $50 million ceiling. If that happens, then next weekend we’ll be into the Lotto Max Maxmillions and you can read all about that and how to play the Lotto Max on our lottery review page.

Then, tomorrow evening, the Lotto 6/49 Canada plays; this lottery draw has rolled over for weeks and is now reaching quite giddy heights with $41 million available to any player who can hit that jackpot on Saturday’s draw. A winner here would put the lottery winner in the top ten biggest ever Lotto 6/49 jackpots, making the draw big news.

If you are playing in either of the Canada Lotto draws then don’t forget, Canada Lotto jackpots are also tax-free, so the displayed jackpot is exactly what you’ll receive, that’s a massive $80 million total if you needed reminding!
