MaxMillions is a supplementary lottery draw that takes place with every Lotto 6/49 draw in Canada. It offers a chance to win an additional $1 million prize on top of the regular Lotto 6/49 prizes.
Here's how it works:
- Automatic Entry: Every Lotto 6/49 ticket automatically includes a MaxMillions selection. You don't need to choose any numbers for MaxMillions.
- Random Selection: The MaxMillions numbers are randomly generated by the lottery corporation.
- One Winning Number: Only one MaxMillions number is drawn for each Lotto 6/49 draw.
- Extra Prize: If your MaxMillions number matches the drawn number, you win an additional $1 million prize.
In addition to the regular Lotto 6/49 prizes, you can win:
- One MaxMillions prize: $1 million
- Multiple MaxMillions prizes: You can win multiple MaxMillions prizes in a single draw if you have multiple Lotto 6/49 tickets.
Example: If you buy a Lotto 6/49 ticket and your MaxMillions number matches the drawn number, you will win an additional $1 million prize on top of any regular Lotto 6/49 prizes you might win.
Note: MaxMillions is not a separate lottery game. It's a supplementary draw that enhances the Lotto 6/49 experience with the potential to win an extra $1 million.
