Historic $80 million LOTTO MAX prize up for grabs

An historic $80 million LOTTO MAX prize is up for grabs Tuesday night (September 17).

With no big winner from Friday’s draw, the jackpot cap has been increased to $80 million, with an estimated 18 MaxMillion prizes also to be awarded.

OLG spokesperson Tony Bitonti reminds that every cent of awarded prizes is tax-free.

Bitonti tips his hat to lotto tickets retailers who are no doubt going to be swamped prior to Tuesday’s LOTTO MAX draw.

Buying a LOTTO MAX ticket in Ontario, says Bitonti, is wise.

In Friday’s draw, a winning ticket worth $285,447.40, was sold in Northumberland County.
