www.alc.caHere’s the latest overview on Lotto Max and the Extra add-on, based on recent official updates and media reports.
Key updates (as of 2026)
- Jackpot cap: Lotto Max now features a maximum jackpot of 90 million CAD, up from previous caps. This is part of a 2026 revamp to increase top prizes.[2][4]
- MAXPLUS prizes: Every draw includes additional prizes of 100,000 CAD (MAXPLUS), with the number of MAXPLUS prizes rising as the jackpot grows. For example, when the jackpot is 10 million, there are 10 MAXPLUS prizes of 100k each; more are added as the jackpot increases toward the 90 million cap.[4][2]
- Game structure: Players now get four selections of seven numbers per play (instead of three selections), with a per-play price of 6 CAD.[2][4]
- Prize odds: Overall odds of winning a prize have improved with the changes (reported changes suggest better odds across prize tiers).[2]
Extra (Lotto Max Extra)
- Lotto Max Extra is a related add-on that often accompanies Lotto Max plays, offering additional chance prizes on the same draws. While the core changes above focus on Lotto Max, Extra typically aligns with the same draw schedule and can be added to a Lotto Max ticket for an extra chance to win. The official platforms continue to publish current winning numbers and prize structures for Extra as part of Lotto Max draw results.[8][10]
Where to check current results
- Official lottery sites in Canada (e.g., Loto-Québec, Atlantic Lottery, Western Canada Lottery Corporation) publish current Lotto Max jackpot amounts, MAXPLUS prize counts, and draw results.[6][10][2]
- In practice, Tuesday and Friday draws remain the standard frequency for Lotto Max; results and prize breakdowns are updated promptly on the official pages.[6][2]
Practical implications for players
- Higher potential top prizes: With a 90 million CAD cap, top-tier prizes are larger than in the pre-2026 structure.[2]
- More frequent smaller prizes: MAXPLUS adds multiple 100,000 CAD prizes per draw, increasing total prize opportunities as the jackpot grows.[2]
- Higher ticket cost per draw: The new format increased the per-play price to 6 CAD to cover enlarged prize pools and extra number selections.[2]
