TORONTO, June 21, 2012 /CNW/ - With an estimated total of $70 million in top prizing for the taking in this Friday's LOTTO MAX draw, there could be several new millionaires in Ontario come Saturday morning! This Friday's draw totals an estimated $50 million with an estimated 20 additional and separate $1 million prizes up for grabs.
