Lotto Max Jackpot Reaches Record 90 Million Dollars

Canada's Lotto Max jackpot has climbed to a record 90 million dollars, with the draw scheduled for the evening of October 16, 2026. The record follows a rule change introduced in April, according to Global News, as the prize attracts attention despite the extremely low probability of winning.

The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately one in 33 million, Global News reported. Despite those chances, the size of the prize continues to fuel public interest in the draw.

The October 16 draw marks the first time Lotto Max has offered a jackpot of this record amount since the April rule change, according to Global News. The report highlighted the contrast between the unprecedented prize and the slim likelihood that an individual ticket will win.

Global News reporter Kevin Gallagher covered the growing jackpot and the public's continued interest in the draw. The report focused on how the prospect of a life-changing prize continues to capture people's imaginations despite the odds.
