Lotto Max Prize's Winners Sought After

The lottery is a pretty common form of gambling in Canada. Every year, millions of dollars are wagered on the result of the lottery draw. There is a variety of lottery games residents can choose from, with Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max being the most popular. If you're looking to become the next Lotto Max Winner, there are a few basic rules you must keep in mind. Firstly, tickets can be purchased from authorized dealers or online via the Crown Corporation's official websites.

To win the jackpot, you're required to match all 6 of the winning numbers drawn. Note that if more than one person wins, the prize will be split equally amongst the winners. If no one wins the prize, the jackpot will be rolled over to the next drawing. However, there are secondary prizes up for grabs by matching fewer than 6 numbers too. The chances of winning any prize are roughly 1 in 13 million for Lotto Max and 1 in 6.6 million for Lotto 6/49.

You must also know that players have got 12 months from the date of the draw to claim their winnings. Winnings over $5,000 must be redeemed at a lottery office but smaller winnings can be claimed at authorized outlets.
