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.
