They may not have won the jackpot, but three Lotto Max players still came out winners in the most recent draw.
The draw took place on Tuesday, July 15, and the Lotto Max winning numbers were 03, 04, 07, 14, 24, 41, 43, and bonus 27. The top prize was worth $19 million; however, no one matched the seven winning numbers.
