It took 20 draws for someone to take home the $70 million winning Lotto Max ticket.
While someone in Calgary took home this massive win, there was still life-changing money won across the country — especially for Ontario Lotto Max players.
“Sixty-three (63) sets of MaxMillions numbers were drawn last night and 28 were won or shared across Canada,” a statement from OLG reads.
