It took 20 draws for someone in Calgary to take home the $70 million winning Lotto Max ticket.
While someone in Calgary took home this massive win, there was still life-changing money won across the country — especially for Ontario Lotto Max players.
“Sixty-three (63) sets of Maxmillions numbers were drawn last night and 28 were won or shared across Canada,” a statement from OLG reads.

Those tickets were sold in Nepean, and the rest were purchased in Vaughan, Kitchener, Niagara Region, and Kingston.

- Dufferin/Peel Region (shared with ticket sold in Western Canada)
- St. Catharines (shared with ticket sold in Quebec)
- Brampton (shared with ticket sold in BC)
- Toronto (shared with ticket sold in Quebec)
A BC ticket holder and someone in Quebec are sharing one Maxmillions winning ticket worth $333,333.40.
Another who purchased a ticket in Brampton, Ontario, has won a Lotto Max Second Prize ticket worth $274,059.80.
Ontario had the most Maxmillions winning tickets from the draw – 11.
