Lotto Max player wins Maxmillions, another snags second prize
Two Canadian lottery players just got a lot richer after scoring a Lotto Max second prize and a Maxmillions prize.
The Lotto Max draw took place on Tuesday, May 6, and the jackpot was a big one, with a top prize of $75 million. The winning numbers were 05, 13, 15, 20, 45, 48, 49, and bonus 09, but no one won the jackpot. But after they matched six of the seven winning numbers and the bonus, someone did win the next best thing: the second prize, worth $303,148.80. According to PlayNow, that lucky ticket was sold in Ontario.
Seventy people will split the third prize after matching six of the seven winning numbers. They’ll each take home their share worth $4,330.70.
During Tuesday’s draw, 12 Maxmillions prizes were up for grabs, but only one lottery player snagged a prize after they matched the winning numbers 10, 16, 18, 24, 35, 36, and 41. As a result, a lottery player in Western Canada will soon take home a $1-million prize.
