Toronto, ON – The LOTTO MAX jackpot and your thermostat are on the rise. The Friday, July 22, 2016 LOTTO MAX jackpot is an estimated $55 million plus an estimated 4 MAXMILLIONS prizes worth $1 million each.
This heat wave has Ontarians daydreaming about winning the jackpot. According to a survey recently conducted for OLG, lottery players who win, want to share the wealth.
Did you know:
• 25% of Ontarians would give a portion of their new-found wealth away to those they think need it most. 13% would only give away a portion to their favourite people, and 6% would not share their win with anybody.
• 51% of Ontarians say the first person they would call if they won the lottery would be their spouse. However, some want to keep this news secret. 9% of Ontarians admit they would keep the good news to themselves, choosing not to tell anybody.
• Two-thirds of Ontario players have given a lottery ticket as a gift.
Since its launch in September 2009, Ontario LOTTO MAX players have won over $2.9 billion, including 46 jackpot wins and 313 MAXMILLIONS prizes, right across the province.
For each $5 play, LOTTO MAX players receive three sets of seven numbers ranging from one to forty-nine. Players must match all seven numbers, in any one set, to win the jackpot and the MAXMILLIONS prizes.
