Lotto Max jackpot now at record-breaking $80 million

The Lotto Max jackpot for Tuesday night’s draw has grown to a staggering $80 million for the first time in Canadian lottery history.

The record-breaking grand prize grew by $5 million after Friday’s first-ever $75-million jackpot was not won.

Earlier this month, the OLG increased the size of its jackpot cap from $70 million. The cap has now grown by $10-million increments three times since it was first introduced in 2009.

An estimated 18 Maxmillions prizes worth $1 million apiece are also up for grabs in tonight’s draw.

The odds of winning the main jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800.

Tickets can be purchased at any participating retailer up until 10:30 a.m.
