Montréal, September 22 – The Lotto Max jackpot for tonight’s draw is a whopping $60,000,000, including 14 additional Maxmillion draws of a million dollars each. Since the beginning of the year, every Lotto Max jackpot in excess of $50,000,000 was won in Québec, as were 60% of all Lotto Max jackpots. This wave of lucky wins is even more extraordinary considering that Québec only accounts for 20% of tickets sold.
