Mid-week winners: Canadian lottery players split Lotto Max second prize
Two Canadian Lotto Max players are about to discover a major lottery windfall.
The latest Lotto Max draw took place on Tuesday, October 24. The winning numbers are 04, 15, 16, 17, 23, 27, 47 and a bonus number 01, according to Play Now.
While no one matched the numbers for the $32 million Lotto Max jackpot, there were still some huge wins last night.

One player from Kootney West and one from Ontario matched six out of seven winning numbers, including the bonus number to win the Lotto Max second prize.
The lucky Canadians will split it to get a hefty $75,070.60 each.
Unfortunately, Canadians failed to match all of the winning numbers (7, 19, 56, 96) for the Lotto Max extra prize of $500,000.
However, 34 people were able to match three of the four numbers, splitting the second prize to get $1,000 each. Not too shabby.
If you didn’t strike gold in this draw, you might want to buy a lottery ticket for the one on October 27. Friday’s Lotto Max jackpot is at a whopping $50 million with two Maxmillions up for grabs.
You also have a chance at the Lotto 6/49 gold ball jackpot of $24 million. The draw is tonight, so make sure to grab your ticket!
