TORONTO, Aug. 23, 2012 /CNW/ - And the pot just keeps growing! LOTTO MAX totals are an estimated $50 million with an estimated 14 additional and separate $1 million prizes up for grabs. With just one ticket, lottery players have many chances to become a millionaire this Friday, August 24, 2012!
"The exciting thing about the game at this stage is that customers have multiple chances to win big prizes. It's not just a chance at a life changing $50 million jackpot, but there are also extra chances to win any of the additional $1 million MAXMILLIONS as well," says Wendy Montgomery, Vice President of Lottery Marketing & Sales at OLG.
How big is $50 million? To put it in perspective, by winning the jackpot you could:
- Stay for a lifetime in a premier suite at any one of Ontario's luxury hotels
- Buy a pair of top-notch water skis for 167,000 of your friends
- Treat the entire population of Ontario to a coffee and a donut
Since its launch in September 2009, Ontario LOTTO MAX players have won over $1.4 billion in prizes, including 22 jackpot wins and 133 winning MAXMILLIONS tickets from all across the province.
For each $5 play, LOTTO MAX players receive three sets of seven numbers ranging from one to forty-nine. Players must match all seven numbers, in any one set, to win the jackpot and the MAXMILLIONS prizes.
Players can purchase tickets at authorized OLG retailers until 9 p.m. Friday, August 24, 2012 for the draw that evening.
