Lotto MAX Swells to CA$55m Without a Winner

Lotto MAX and Lotto 6/49 are among the most popular draw-based lottery products out there and many Canadians purchase tickets on a weekly basis ahead of every draw. Friday night saw yet another Lotto MAX draw coming with a Main prize of CA$50 million but not a single ticket managed to match the numbers drawn.

This is how the great prize coming with it managed to remain untouched and further motivating people to purchase a lottery ticket for the upcoming draw. This is how it works when it comes to lottery gaming, the larger the Main prize grows, the bigger the number of players willing to participate in it. This, in turn, increases the ultimate jackpot even further until someone managed to match the numbers needed.

The number coming with the latest July 17 draw of the lottery game were 5, 11, 15, 18, 20, 24, 46, as well as the bonus one 37. One ticket managed to match six of the draw numbers along with the bonus one and this resulted in a cash payout of CA$251,562. Along with that, additional prizes were also bagged.
