Five people just won $1 million each, while four lottery players split second prize
No one won the Lotto Max jackpot, but nine lottery players across Canada just woke up big winners.
Yet again, another lottery draw came and went without a winner for the big prize, which now stands at the game’s maximum limit of $70 million. The winning numbers are 04, 08, 14, 25, 28, 40, 41, and 06.
But that doesn’t mean that there weren’t any big winners.

It will undoubtedly be a memorable weekend for the winners of the draw, which took place on Friday, July 21. Four people from different provinces will split the Lotto Max second prize after they matched six of the seven winning numbers, each landing themselves a six-figure prize.
According to PlayNow, two of the winning tickets were purchased in Quebec, one in Western Canada, and one in Nechako Lakes, BC. Each of them will be taking home a cheque for $317,035.90.
They weren’t the only winners last night.
There were twenty Maxmillions prizes up for grabs, and two winners from Quebec will be each claiming a prize worth $1 million. Meanwhile, Ontario had three Maxmillions winners, each now $1 million richer.
The $70 Lotto Max prize is still up for grabs, and this time, there are an estimated twenty-six Maxmillions prizes to be won. The next draw is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, July 25.
