LOTTO MAX, Canada’s biggest lottery game, will soon have lottery players dreaming even bigger. Starting with the September 10, 2024, draw, players will have the chance to play for a jackpot as high as $80 million – an amount no Canadian lottery has ever reached before.

When LOTTO MAX was introduced in 2009, a lottery game that offered multiple $50 million jackpots a year was unheard of in Canada. Then in 2015, the jackpot cap increased to $60 million, and then to $70 million in 2019, offering players an even bigger jackpot experience.
