How to Play Lotto Max
For a $5 play, you receive three lines of numbers - that's three chances to win! Each line or set is made up of seven numbers from 1-50. Each ticket gives you up to five plays.
Choose your own numbers by marking seven numbers from 1 to 50 on your selection slip. For each set of numbers you choose (your first line of numbers on your ticket), the lottery terminal will also randomly generate two extra sets of numbers for you (the second and third lines on your ticket).
To have Quick Pick randomly generate your numbers, just check the Quick Pick box on your selection slip or ask the retailer for a Quick Pick.
Advance Play lets you play your lucky numbers for up to 52 draws in a row - just mark the number of draws you'd like in the Advance Play box.
You can also get family, friends and colleagues together and play as a group for more chances to win.
MAXMILLIONS
When the jackpot hits $50 million, your numbers are also eligible for MAXMILLIONS draws! You get a chance at any of the $1 million MAXMILLION prizes in addition to the regular Lotto Max jackpot. MAXMILLIONS costs nothing extra and is added automatically to your regular play. You'll have a chance to win on any of the MAXMILLIONS draws on the date you purchase the ticket. Seven numbers from 1-50 are drawn and you must match all numbers to win.
If the main Lotto Max jackpot is won, MAXMILLIONS prizes that haven't been won are added to the next starting $10 million Lotto Max jackpot.
If the main jackpot isn't won, MAXMILLIONS prizes that have not been won will roll over to increase the number of $1 million prizes available in the next MAXMILLIONS draw.
ENCORE
ENCORE is a bonus game with a top prize of $1 million and 22 ways to win! It costs an extra $1, and prizes start at $2. Mark how many ENCORE plays you want to add (from 1-10) on your selection slip, or ask the retailer to add ENCORE to your Quick Pick.
You can win a prize by matching left to right, right to left, or a combination. The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 9.17.
How to Win
Match three numbers in a line to win a free play. To win the Lotto Max jackpot, you'll need to match all seven numbers in a line. The overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 7.
Combination Play
Combination Play let you make multiple selections for the chance to win multiple prizes! A Combination Play ticket can win just like a normal ticket, and your numbers can win on both the Lotto Max regular draw and the MAXMILLIONS draw.
You can make multiple selections using eight- and nine-number combinations. You'll need a Lotto Max Combination Play selection slip to play. Mark the eight or nine numbers from 1-50 that you want to combine. An eight-number Combination Play costs $40 per draw, and a nine-number play costs $180 per draw. To play up to 10 draws in the future, mark how many draws you'd like in the Advance Play box.
To play ENCORE, simply mark the number of plays to add ($1 per play).
To win, match the numbers drawn. Lotto Max features seven numbers and one bonus number, while seven numbers are drawn for MAXMILLIONS when it is active.
Eight-Number Plays
Your eight numbers are organised in sets of seven numbers each, for a total of eight sets.
You'll also get two sets of terminal-generated numbers, so you receive a total of 24 combinations of seven-number sets.
If you choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 as your numbers, then the eight sets would contain the following combinations:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
The two sets of auto-generated numbers are combined in the same way.

Your nine numbers are organised in sets of seven numbers each, for a total of 36 unique combinations.
You'll also get two sets of terminal-generated numbers, so you receive a total of 108 combinations of seven-number sets.

When the LOTTO MAX Jackpot exceeds $50 million, MAXMILLIONS draws will occur. MAXMILLIONS and the jackpot will continue to grow until the jackpot reaches $70 million. Once this happens, only MAXMILLIONS can grow.
That means each line of numbers will have additional chances to win! Every LOTTO MAX selection on your ticket can be compared to all sets of MAXMILLIONS numbers for that draw.
To win or share a MAXMILLIONS prize, you must exactly match all seven numbers on one line of your ticket; there are no subsidiary prizes.
Any jackpot or MAXMILLIONS prizes not won will carry over to the jackpot (or MAXMILLIONS prizes, if applicable) for the subsequent draw. However, please note that the rollover does not take into account any guarantee which the ILC may have given as to the jackpot or MAXMILLIONS.
