Two Canadian lottery players have struck it rich after the recent Lotto Max draw held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. With a staggering jackpot of $75 million, excitement was in the air, but no one managed to clinch the top prize. However, one lucky individual did win the second prize, worth a remarkable $303,148.80, by matching six of the seven winning numbers along with the bonus number. This winning ticket was sold in Ontario, adding to the province's reputation for producing lottery winners.
The winning numbers for this draw were 05, 13, 15, 20, 45, 48, 49, with a bonus number of 09. Despite the absence of a jackpot winner, the draw was not without its share of good fortune. In total, seventy players matched six of the seven winning numbers, allowing them to share the third prize, each receiving a payout of $4,330.70.
In addition to the second prize, the Lotto Max draw featured twelve Maxmillions prizes, each worth $1 million. Only one of these prizes was claimed, with a ticket sold in Western Canada matching the winning numbers 10, 16, 18, 24, 35, 36, and 41. This victory brought joy to one more lucky player, further fueling the excitement surrounding the Lotto Max draws.
Moreover, a player in British Columbia also celebrated a significant win, taking home $500,000 after matching the Lotto Max Extra winning numbers 3, 4, 30, and 91. This ticket was purchased in Burnaby, contributing to the growing list of lottery winners across the country.
Another Ontario player joined the ranks of the fortunate by winning $1 million after matching the Encore winning number 5843771. This win adds to the impressive tally of lottery successes in the province, which has seen multiple significant prizes awarded this year.
The last time the Lotto Max jackpot was won was on March 28, 2025, when a lucky ticket sold in Newmarket, Ontario, claimed the $65 million prize. This victory marked the fourth jackpot won in the province this year, demonstrating the province's luck in the lottery game.
As anticipation builds for the next Lotto Max draw scheduled for Friday, May 9, 2025, players are eager to try their luck once again. The upcoming draw will feature an even larger jackpot of $80 million, which is the maximum prize limit for the game. Additionally, there will be 14 Maxmillions prizes available, each worth $1 million, making it a draw not to be missed.
For those interested in participating, tickets can be purchased at authorized retailers or through official online platforms. The Lotto Max draws take place every Tuesday and Friday, with each $5 ticket providing three sets of numbers ranging from 1 to 50.
The odds of winning any prize in Lotto Max are approximately 1 in 7, while the odds of hitting the jackpot stand at about 1 in 33,294,800. Each ticket gives players three chances to win, but as always, hitting the jackpot remains a rare feat.
In the previous Lotto 6/49 draw held on Saturday, May 3, 2025, the winning numbers were 12, 22, 25, 30, 36, and 41, with a bonus number of 14. Although no ticket matched all six numbers to claim the $5 million jackpot, four tickets did match five numbers plus the bonus, each winning $76,000.60. Additionally, a Gold Ball Jackpot ticket worth $1 million was sold in Western Canada during the same draw.
As the excitement for the Lotto Max draw continues to build, players are encouraged to purchase their tickets early to avoid missing out on what could be a life-changing opportunity. The thrill of potentially winning a substantial prize keeps players hopeful and engaged, and with each draw, the dreams of many Canadians come closer to reality.
