Two Canadians Strike Gold in Lotto Max
Two lucky Canadians are celebrating life-changing wins after each claimed a $1 million prize in the latest Lotto Max draw. The popular lottery, known for its massive jackpots, kept the excitement alive as winners from Ontario and Western Canada secured the coveted Maxmillions rewards.
Jackpot Rolls Over, More Prizes Claimed
The draw, held on Tuesday, August 12, revealed the winning numbers: 15, 16, 21, 27, 28, 33, 39, with bonus 10. While no one matched all seven numbers to take home the $65 million jackpot, several Canadians still walked away winners. One ticket holder in Western Canada matched six numbers plus the bonus, earning $241,169.60.
Another 49 players matched six numbers, each pocketing $4,921.80. These smaller but significant wins kept the nationwide buzz alive as hopefuls await the next draw.
Maxmillions Winners Shine
The real headline came from the Maxmillions prizes. Out of eight available, two players hit the jackpot within the jackpot. Winning numbers 13, 17, 23, 31, 39, 40, 48 and 13, 21, 28, 36, 40, 49, 50 gave two lucky Canadians $1 million each. One winning ticket was purchased in Ontario, while the other was sold in Western Canada.
Regional Wins Keep Spirits High
In British Columbia, one player celebrated a $500,000 Lotto Max Extra prize. However, Ontario players missed out on the $1 million Encore prize this time.
The last grand jackpot win came on July 11, when two Quebec residents split $70 million. Entrepreneur Jacques Deschamps and retiree Wilhelmina Van Leeuwen each took home $35 million. Deschamps shared plans to spoil his family and travel, while Van Leeuwen set her sights on first-class adventures.
Next Draw Promises Bigger Stakes
The anticipation now turns to Friday, August 15, when the Lotto Max jackpot climbs to $70 million. Alongside the main prize, players will have 10 Maxmillions prizes up for grabs, raising the stakes for hopeful participants across the country.
