Press release

April 11, 2026 – Lotto Max, Quebecers’ favourite lottery game, got a major glow-up and is finally here! The new version boasts more chances to win and a jaw‑dropping jackpot that can now soar up to $90 million. 

Bigger jackpots – Up to $90 million

Because players love big jackpots, the Lotto Max jackpot cap is increasing from $80 million to $90 million—a record-setting amount for a Canadian lottery! Players will still have the chance to win Maxmillions prizes when the jackpot reaches or exceeds $50 million.

New $100,000 Maxplus prizes in every draw

One of the most exciting enhancements is the introduction of the $100,000 prizes in every draw based on the jackpot amount. For example, when the jackpot is $10 million, 10 additional prizes of $100,000 will be drawn. At $20 million, there will be 20 additional $100,000 prizes—and so on, up to 90 additional $100,000 prizes when the jackpot hits $90 million.

Better overall odds of winning any prize

With these enhancements, the overall odds of winning any prize are better than ever. Odds of winning a prize improve from approximately 1 in 7 to 1 in 5.8, while the main jackpot odds will change from approximately 1 in 33, 294,800 to 1 in 33,446,140.

Each $6 play will now include four selections of seven numbers. That’s one more selection than before, giving players an extra chance of winning from the expanded prize pool.

As a result, the price of a Lotto Max play will increase from $5 to $6. This small change helps us continue to deliver record-breaking jackpots, now up to $90 million, while adding new $100,000 prizes to every draw of the game that lottery players love.
