Lotto Max jackpot climbs after October 2 draw
The $75-million prize follows the Friday, October 2 draw, which carried a $70-million jackpot.
The winning numbers from that draw were 2, 4, 20, 23, 25, 41 and 47, with 26 drawn as the bonus number.
No October 6 winning numbers are available yet because the draw has not taken place.
Players should keep their tickets until the official results and prize breakdown are posted by the lottery organizations.
What is available in the October 6 draw
| Prize type | Amount or number offered |
|---|---|
| Main Lotto Max jackpot | $75 million |
| MAXMILLIONS prizes | 12 prizes of $1 million |
| MAXPLUS prizes | 75 prizes of $100,000 |
MAXMILLIONS prizes require an exact match of all seven numbers on one selection.
If a prize is shared by multiple winning selections, the $1-million amount is divided among the winners.
MAXPLUS prizes are also exact-match prizes.
The number of $100,000 MAXPLUS opportunities is tied to the size of the main jackpot, so a $75-million draw offers 75 such prizes.
