By mid-October there were eight consecutive winners from Ontario who had won the Lotto Max jackpots.
Some winners include a couple from Owen Sound in Ontario who got $40 million after being one of two winners for the $80 million Lotto Max jackpot. The other ticket was sold to a retired gym teacher from Quebec’s Outaouais region who got the other $40 million.
Another Ontario couple won in August 2024, winning $70 million and celebrating the recent birth of their new baby.
In May 2024, a woman from Ottawa took home the $70 million prize after noticing her left hand was itchy while she was checking her ticket.
“Legend says a person with an itchy left hand will come into money,” the OLG said.
The next draw will be on Friday, with the jackpot worth $15 million.
