A winning set of numbers for the LOTTO MAX Main Draw entitles a winner to a prize in only one of the above prize categories.

* Per $5 play (approximate).

Forty-eight per cent of LOTTO MAX Draw sales are dedicated to the Prize Fund. The total amount of $20 and Free Play prizes is paid from the Prize Fund, and the balance of the fund (the Pools Fund) is then allocated to the 5/7, 6/7, 6/7 + Bonus and 7/7 prize categories as indicated in the table above. If there is more than one winner in the 5/7, 6/7, 6/7 + Bonus or 7/7 prize categories, the prize in that category will be shared among the winners in that category. Any amount not won in the 7/7 or 6/7 + Bonus prize categories is added to the 7/7 prize category for the next draw.

The amount of the 7/7 prize category for the LOTTO MAX Main Draw is capped at $50 million. When the amount of the 7/7 prize category for any given draw exceeds $50 million, each $1 million in excess of the Main Jackpot is drawn as a separate $1 million MAXMILLIONS prize.For each MAXMILLIONS Draw, seven numbers are drawn from among all numbers from 1 to 49. Players must match all seven numbers drawn to win a MAXMILLIONS prize. If there is more than one winner in a MAXMILLIONS Draw, the MAXMILLIONS prize will be shared among the winners in that draw.

Any excess of the 7/7 prize category for any given draw over the $50 million Main Jackpot, less all $1 million MAXMILLIONS prizes available for that draw, will be added to the 6/7 + Bonus prize category for such draw or, if the 6/7 + Bonus prize category is not won, will be added to the Main Jackpot prize of the next draw. Any amount not won in a MAXMILLIONS Draw(s) is added to the 7/7 prize category of the next draw.

Example 1: Amount of the 7/7 prize category reaches $55,500,000.

• 7/7 prize category in the Main Draw capped at $50 million.
• Five MAXMILLIONS Draws of $1 million each.
• $500,000 added to the 6/7 + Bonus prize category of the Main Draw.

Example 2: Amount of the 7/7 prize category is less than $50 million

• There are no MAXMILLIONS Draws.

The prize pool for the LOTTO MAX Main Draw and MAXMILLIONS Draw(s) is based on a pari-mutuel share. A pari-mutuel share is a calculation in which the total monies allocated to a prize category are divided by the total number of winners in that category. Sometimes, customers select certain number combinations more often than other number combinations, which may result in a greater number of winning tickets and a lower prize share. Some of the more popular combinations are based on sequences of numbers, vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines on selection slips, multiples of numbers, variations of historic dates or birth dates, etc. These combinations vary from draw to draw and change depending on customer play patterns.

• If the $50 million Jackpot is won, any MAXMILLIONS that are not won are added to the next base ($10 million) LOTTO MAX Jackpot. They do not carry forward as MAXMILLIONS prizes.
