Lotto Max jackpot climbs after October 9 draw
The jackpot was advertised at $80 million for the Friday, October 9 draw.
The winning numbers were 6, 10, 19, 25, 29, 39 and 50, with 36 as the bonus number.
With the main jackpot moving to the next draw, the advertised amount increased by $5 million for October 13.
The $85 million estimate is not the same as a guaranteed payout for every ticket holder.
A ticket must match all seven main-draw numbers to win the jackpot, and the prize is shared if more than one winning selection is sold.
What is available in the October 13 Lotto Max draw?
The prize structure for the Tuesday draw includes the main jackpot, Maxmillions and Maxplus prizes.
| Prize category | Amount or number of prizes |
|---|---|
| Main jackpot | Estimated $85 million |
| Maxmillions | 16 prizes of $1 million |
| Maxplus | 85 prizes of $100,000 |
Maxmillions prizes are offered when the main Lotto Max jackpot reaches at least $50 million.
Each Maxmillions selection is worth $1 million, although a prize can be divided if multiple winning selections match the same draw.
The Maxplus feature provides additional $100,000 prizes tied to the jackpot level.
The number of those prizes increases with the jackpot, up to the game’s current maximum.
