On Wednesday, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) announced that the increased prize follows Tuesday’s unclaimed $85 million jackpot that saw no winning ticket. Now, there’s another chance for Canadians to score some major cash.
$90 Million Jackpot
While the jackpot cap was increased from $80 million to $90 million back in April, it’s only recently that Canada has seen any prize actually hit that limit. That’s because other jackpots were claimed before the cap was reached, but with the $85 million draw having no winner, it’s now grown an extra $5 million.
The winning numbers for Tuesday’s draw were 7, 11, 19, 28, 32, 35, 50, and Bonus 36.
The upcoming draw is on Friday, October 16. It also includes 18 Maxmillions prizes, which are all worth $1 million each.
And remember: even if you’re not from Ontario, any Canadian resident of legal gambling age can still buy a ticket for this massive jackpot. The only caveat is that you need to be in the region to purchase the ticket. It’s a good time for those visiting Ontario to get one!
As always, if you plan on playing: remember your limit, play within it.
