Humongous $70 million Lotto Max top prize up for grabs

A record-setting lottery jackpot is still up for grabs, and if you’re lucky, you could be $70 million richer tomorrow.

In addition to the massive $70 million Lotto Max jackpot, 25 Maxmillion prizes are available bringing players a chance to win $95 million in total prizes in the draw tomorrow, Jan. 6, according to a BC Lottery Corporation media release.

Last Friday’s Lotto Max draw resulted in eight people scoring a Maximillion win but there was no jackpot winner, BCLC says, making this the second time Canadians will play to win $70 million.

The maximum jackpot was increased to $70 million in May of last year.
