Even though the Lotto Max jackpot is getting bigger, it doesn’t mean the price will. The play cost will remain $5 for three selections of seven numbers.
However, the odds of winning the main jackpot remain at one in 33,294,800 per $5 play and the overall odds of winning a prize stay at one in seven per $5 play.
Tickets for tonight’s draw are available until 7:30 pm PT.
In Tuesday’s Lotto Max draw, there was a $60 million prize to be won. The winning numbers were 01, 12, 13, 24, 28, 36, 39, and bonus 35. No one won the top prize or even the second prize worth $212,626.90.
