Based on OLG’s data, Lotto Max players scored more money in 2024, winning roughly $911 million versus the $212 million that was won among Lotto 6/49 players. The prize money ranged anywhere from $2 to $80 million. Further, a $65-million ticket was won in Etobicoke, a $55-million ticket in Milton, and a $20-million ticket in Hamilton. Two tickets, sold in Kingston and Brampton last year, also split a $25 million jackpot.
Meanwhile, Lotto 6/49 players won a dozen classic jackpots – worth either $2.5 million or $5 million – for a grand total of $47.7 million.
