First question…how many lines do you get per $5 play in LOTTO MAX?
Each $5 play gets you three lines and each line gets you seven numbers between 1 and 50.
For your first line, you can choose your numbers yourself OR have Quick Pick select
them for you. However, you pick your first line, the next two are randomly generated.
And no matter what numbers are chosen, they all have an equal chance of winning.
Match three numbers in a line and you win a free play! Match all seven in a line and
you win the jackpot! It’s fun to choose your own numbers and stick to them. Just remember,
playing the same numbers or different numbers every time won’t change your odds of winning.
Let’s talk odds of winning…Your overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 7 per $5 play…
But it’s important to know that this doesn’t mean every 7th ticket with a $5 play is a winner,
it means each ticket itself has 1 in 7 odds of winning. Buying 7 tickets (or 8 tickets,
or any other number of tickets) won’t change the odds of one of them being a winner.
Now, let’s learn another way you could win with LOTTO MAX!
Whenever the LOTTO MAX jackpot reaches or exceeds $50 million,
MAXMILLIONS kicks in. It costs nothing extra, and it’s automatically included in your play, so just
match one of your lines with a winning MAXMILLIONS combination and you could win a cool million!
But we’re not done yet...
Let’s talk ENCORE… ENCORE is a bonus game available for one extra
dollar per play and it offers you a chance to win the $1 million ENCORE draw on your lottery ticket.
Draws are every Tuesday and Friday night at 10:30 PM Eastern Time. You can check the
winning numbers on the OLG Lottery App or at OLG.ca. But don’t forget - sign your ticket!
