Lotto Max costs $5 per play and you can purchase your ticket at authorized lottery retailers or online.

The last time the Lotto Max jackpot was won was on December 15, when a family from Quebec won $50 million.

Laurentides residents Nancy Gauthier, her mom, Jeannette Boisvert and her mother’s spouse, Gilles Larouche, took home the prize. The trio, who all worked for the same company, quit their jobs and said their winnings would allow them to finally live their dream: buying a farm to be closer to nature.
