Twenty MaxMillions prizes were also offered

The October 20 draw included 20 MaxMillions selections, each worth $1 million if won by a single ticket or divided among multiple winning selections.

Official results show that several of those $1-million selections were won, while others had no winning ticket in the recorded breakdown.

The draw also included MaxPlus prizes, which were introduced as part of Lotto Max’s 2026 changes and offer $100,000 for an exact match to a seven-number selection.

With the main jackpot at $90 million, the draw advertised 20 one-million-dollar MaxMillions prizes and 90 MaxPlus prizes worth $100,000 each.

What happens after the $90-million win

The identity and location of the jackpot winner will depend on the applicable provincial lottery corporation’s claim and verification process.

Lottery officials must validate the winning ticket before a jackpot can be paid.

Players with winning tickets should sign the ticket, keep it in a safe place and contact the lottery corporation in the province where it was purchased.

The OLG also reminds players that tickets purchased in Ontario must be redeemed in Ontario.

Lottery tickets should not be posted publicly or handed to anyone other than an authorized lottery representative during the claim process.

When is the next Lotto Max draw?

Lotto Max draws are held on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The next draw is scheduled for Friday, October 23, 2026, with the main jackpot resetting to an estimated $20 million after the record prize was won.

The exact prize total and any additional MaxMillions or MaxPlus offerings should be confirmed through an official lottery results page once the next draw is posted.

The current Lotto Max format uses four selections of seven numbers from 1 to 52 for a $6 play, with the jackpot odds remaining extremely long for each play.

Lottery games are intended for entertainment, and buying more tickets does not guarantee a win.

How to check a Lotto Max ticket

  • Compare all seven main numbers and the bonus number with the numbers printed on the ticket.
  • Check whether the ticket contains MaxMillions or MaxPlus selections.
  • Use an authorized retailer or the lottery corporation’s official ticket-checking tools.
  • Keep the original ticket until the prize has been claimed and paid.

Because lottery results can be updated as regional prize information is confirmed, players should rely on official lottery sources for final validation.
