The Lotto Max jackpot will continue to grow even bigger this week. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation reported that no ticket from the country was drawn as the winner of the CA$55 million main prize during this Tuesday’s draw of the popular game. Players now can start preparing for the Friday night draw as the rewards will be even more generous.
Lotto Max is among the top-played draw-based games in Canada, and it has two weekly draws on Tuesday and Friday where players can win big. The jackpot of the game can amount to over CA$70,000,000, and once the main prize passes the CA$50,000,000 participants can also win a Maxmillion prize worth CA$1,000,000.
No Winners
As announced by the Crown corporation of Ontario, this week’s Lotto Max jackpot of CA$55 million has not been acquired by anyone in the country. No winning ticket or tickets were sold for the Tuesday draw. Due to this fact, the main prize for the fan-favorite game in the upcoming Friday draw will now be increased to the impressive amount of CA$60 million.
Not only the main prize remains untouched but the draw’s four Maxmillion prizes each worth CA$1,000,000 have also remained unclaimed. The next draw for the draw-based Lotto Max game is scheduled for Friday, July 2, and the main prize will reach CA$60 million. Additionally, there will be six Maxmillion prizes up for grabs by the ticket holders.

Also, the Crown agency revealed that Hans Lofgreen from Toronto is the winner of the Lotto 6/49 jackpot amount to CA$4,437,083.40. After he arrived to claim his big cheque the 73-year-old shared that he had purchased his ticket at Esso on Hwy. 35 in Fenelon Falls.
