The Lotto Max jackpot is set at $85 million, the largest prize in Canadian lottery history

The Lotto Spot road team will be out across the prairies next week asking people one thing: “What would you do with $85 million?”

With no tickets matching all seven numbers in Friday night’s Lotto Max draw, players now have a chance to win $85 million, the largest jackpot in Canadian lottery history.

“This is a first for LOTTO MAX, and we want to celebrate it with the players here on the Prairies,” said Kevin van Egdom, Lotto Spot spokesperson in a news release. “It’s exciting to watch the conversation grow across the Prairies as this jackpot grows.”

The last big Lotto Max win occurred in December 2024, when a player from Hamiota, Man. shared the jackpot with the winning ticket sold in Quebec.

Earlier this year, Lotto Max increased its jackpot limit to $90 million and added a new prize of $100,000 to each drawing.

The $85 million drawing will take place on Tuesday, October 13.

In addition to the $85 million jackpot, the drawing will offer 16 prizes worth $1 million and 85 additional prizes of $100,000 each.
