MONTREAL, June 9, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ – In yesterday’s Lotto Max draw, 23 Maxmillions ($1 million prizes) were won with selections sold in British Columbia, The Prairies, Ontario, Québec and the Atlantic Provinces. As such, the total prize pool for the Friday, June 11 draw will be $120,000,000, i.e. a $70,000,000 jackpot and 50 prizes of $1,000,000. While last night’s draw offered a record total of $117 million, this Friday’s draw will feature the biggest prize pool ever offered in the history of Loto-Québec and all of Canada.
The prize pool offered at Lotto Max has hit a new record for the second time in the same week with $120 million. Since January 1, 2017, Quebecers have been very lucky at Lotto Max, taking home 40% of the jackpots of $50 million and more while only representing 19% of the lottery game’s market share.
