Nobody hit the jackpot in the last Lotto Max draw, which means the $50 million prize — and then some — will be going to the next Canadian who scratches all the winning numbers.
Once the jackpot hits $50 million, $1 million Maximillions prizes are also offered, further sweetening the deal.
The lotto jackpot for the next draw on April 15 is around $55 million, and eight Maximillions prizes are ready for the taking.
On April 12, a Surrey bus driver took home an $18.7 million prize after the April 6 Lotto 6/49 draw. He was the last winner announced on the BCLC website.
For every $5 you play in the lottery, you get three sets of seven numbers ranging from 1 to 50. You choose the first set, and the others are set to “quick pick,” or auto-select.
Players get a Free Play, or a complimentary ticket to the next draw when they match three out of seven numbers.
