$145 million?! That's the total of top lottery prizes up for grabs in this week's draws
Lottery players across Canada have recently witnessed draw after draw without a big winner, and the prize pool keeps growing.
Between Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49, a combined $145 million in top prizes could be won this week.
The next Lotto Max draw is set to take place on Tuesday, May 28, and the jackpot is still at the game’s prize limit of $70 million.
This time, however, lottery players have a bigger chance of waking up $1 million richer because there are now 14 Maxmillions prizes to be won.
