Lotto Max Canada rolls up

Lotto MaxThe Lotto Max Canada rolls up again on Friday night to an estimated $88 million after no tickets matched all seven winning numbers in last Friday’s draw. The $50 million rolled and that of course means even more Maxmillions draws on the Lotto Max Canada on Friday evening. The unique way the Lotto Max Canada is played means that many millionaires were created on Friday, even though the jackpot rolled over and that’s what makes it one of our favourite world lottery draws.

This Friday’s Lotto Max Canada jackpot pool is an estimated $88 million but the jackpot won’t be that amount. This is because the Lotto Max sets a $50 million ceiling on the jackpot, giving the rest away in $1 million Maxmillions draws. Last Friday the main jackpot wasn’t won and twenty of the Maxmillions draws rolled over too. That’s $70 million in lottery prizes rolling over, explaining the bumper jackpot this week.

In fact the biggest Canadian Lottery prize last weekend was the $11.4 million Lotto 6/49 Canada rollover, that was won by a single lottery player, making tomorrow’s jackpot a respectable $4 million.

The Lotto Max Canada is currently up top of our world lottery jackpot list and will remain there until that $50 million is won, even then the unmatched Maxmillions will roll over, creating a repeat of this situation yet again. We know this as it happened a few weeks ago and it means that the Lotto Max Canada jackpot hasn’t been below $30 million for many weeks. We’re not complaining and we’re sure that Canadian Lottery players are enjoying the bumper jackpots too.
