MaxPlus prizes awarded
The October 16 draw also featured MaxPlus prizes worth $100,000 for exact matches, with some prizes divided where more than one winning ticket was recorded.
Winning MaxPlus tickets were reported in several provinces, including Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Atlantic provinces, as well as Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Regina.
Because the MaxPlus prize list is tied to individual seven-number combinations, players should compare their tickets directly with the official results rather than relying only on the headline jackpot numbers.
When is the next Lotto Max draw?
The next Lotto Max draw is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
The jackpot is again listed at $90 million, the maximum single Lotto Max jackpot under the current game format.
The next draw is also scheduled to include 20 $1 million prizes and 90 $100,000 MaxPlus prizes, subject to the official draw information.
Lotto Max draws are held on Tuesdays and Fridays, with tickets available through provincial lottery retailers and approved online lottery platforms.
Players should keep their tickets and check the results through the lottery corporation serving the province or territory where the ticket was purchased.
Winning tickets must be claimed according to the applicable provincial lottery rules, and prize deadlines can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
What to check on an October 16 ticket
Players should first compare all seven main numbers, then check the bonus number and any MaxMillions or MaxPlus selections printed on the ticket.
A ticket can qualify for a prize even when it does not match the full jackpot combination.
Lottery officials also advise players to sign paper tickets and store them securely until they are validated and claimed.
The odds of winning the jackpot remain extremely long, so lottery play should be treated as entertainment rather than a way to make money.
