Two Lotto Max players just woke up $1 million richer
Lottery players across the country have their eyes on the prize. As the Lotto Max jackpot continues to grow, two Canadian lottery players will walk away with some impressive wins.
The recent draw took place on Tuesday, March 25, and the top prize was worth a massive $60 million. The winning numbers were 01, 10, 16, 36, 39, 45, 47, and bonus 04. However, no one matched them to win the jackpot or the second prize worth $223,704.40.
On the other hand, 49 people matched six of the seven numbers and will, therefore, split the third prize, each receiving $4,565.40.

At the time of the draw, there were six Maxmillions prizes to be won. According to PlayNow, two people managed to win a prize, each worth $1 million, after they matched the numbers 3, 10, 25, 27, 37, 38, 50 and 6, 9, 15, 32, 36, 42, 49. Both winning tickets were sold in Quebec.
The Lotto Max Extra winning numbers were 14, 15, 24, and 38, but no one in B.C. won the $500,000 prize. Similarly, in Ontario, no one matched the Encore number 0481022 to win the $1-million top prize.
Recently, five coworkers from Ontario came forward to claim their prize after winning the $60-million jackpot in the Jan. 21, 2025, Lotto Max draw.
“I took a screenshot and sent it to the group chat right away,” recounted Trang Pham after discovering they had won. Her phone soon started “blowing up” as group members called and texted.

The coworkers, each now $12 million richer, shared what they plan to do with their winnings.
After another draw without a big winner, the Lotto Max jackpot has now soared to $65 million, with an additional eight Maxmillions prizes to be won. The draw is set for Friday, March 28.
