With the jackpot still available, it seems Canadian lottery players will just have to keep trying.
The last time someone won the jackpot was on August 12, 2022, when a resident of Western Canada won the $15 million jackpot.
“We are heading into the 20th draw since the last Lotto Max jackpot was won, making it the longest run without a jackpot winner in Lotto Max history,” said OLG spokesman Tony Bitonti.
So, could tonight’s lottery draw end the longest stretch without a winner?

With prizes rolling over from one draw to the next, the total has now grown to a whopping $133 million with a $70 million jackpot and an estimated 63 Maxmillions, each worth $1 million – now the second largest in total prizes in Lotto Max history.
Last year, lottery players saw the biggest prize offered between June 18 and June 22 when the total prize reached $140 million with a $70 million jackpot and 70 Maxmillions.
The jackpot can still go unclaimed, but since September 2, 88 Maxmillion prize winning tickets have been sold across Canada. Forty-seven of those tickets were sold in Ontario.
Will you be buying a ticket for tonight’s draw?
