Imagine starting off the weekend $140 million richer?
As a result of nobody winning Lotto Max’s big-time $70 million draw on Tuesday, the record-setting jackpot is carrying over for the third consecutive week.
As such, Friday’s jackpot will be worth a jaw-dropping $140 million — the $70 million jackpot plus 70 $1 million prizes.
According to Lotto Max, 34 Maxmillions ($1 million each) were won in British Columbia, The Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic Provinces.

According to the Crown corporation, this is the eighth time the Lotto Max jackpot has hit its cap of $70,000,000 since revamping the game in May 2019.
Millionaire-hopefuls can buy tickets in-store or online.
The draws for the Canada-wide lottery are held on a biweekly basis, every Tuesday and Friday.
Each play costs $5 and consists of three selections of seven numbers from 1 to 50.
