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.

Six Ontarians became “max-millionaires” as they claimed winning tickets, each worth $1 million.

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

Meanwhile, four Maxmillions winning tickets worth $500,000 were sold in:

  • Dufferin/Peel Region (shared with ticket sold in Western Canada)
  • St. CatharinesĀ (shared with ticket sold in Quebec)
  • BramptonĀ (shared with ticket sold in BC)
  • TorontoĀ (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.
