Look on the plus side: Estimated $50 million jackpot plus an estimated 10 MAXMILLIONS up for grabs
TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2012 /CNW/ - Lottery players in Ontario can look on the plus side of LOTTO MAX again. As there was no winning ticket for the $50 million LOTTO MAX jackpot last night, the upcoming LOTTO MAX draw for Friday, February 3, 2012 is once again an estimated $50 million. Additionally, there are an estimated 10 $1 million MAXMILLIONS prizes up for grabs, on top of the jackpot, bringing the total prize amount to $60 million.
While there were also no winning MAXMILLIONS tickets from last night's draw sold in Ontario, a ticket sold in Ottawa is sharing part of the second prize pool with two other tickets sold in Quebec. These tickets are each worth $212,238.
When the LOTTO MAX jackpot hits $50 million, players can look for the 'plus' sign where lottery tickets are sold to determine how many extra, separate $1 million prizes are available. These "MAXMILLIONS" prizes are drawn independently from the LOTTO MAX jackpot draw.
Since its launch in September 2009, Ontario LOTTO MAX players have won over $1.1 billion in prizes, including 19 jackpot wins and 114 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.
Tickets are available at official OLG retailers until 9 p.m. EST on Friday, February 3, 2012.
OLG is a provincial agency responsible for province-wide lottery games and gaming facilities. Since 1975, OLG lotteries, casinos, slots, and resort casinos have generated more than $34 billion for the benefit of the Province of Ontario.
