Some great and bad news for Canadian lottery players is on the horizon, as the Tuesday, November 9 draw for Lotto Max did not determine a winner of the hefty prize.

Tickets for the game must be purchased at retail locations and online before 10:30 p.m. on Friday.

Kanata Local Wins Big
And speaking of hefty lottery winnings, a retired nurse from Kanata, Ontario is now CA$1 million richer thanks to the Lotto 6/49 ticket.
