How does Lotto Max work?

Lotto Max is a Canada-wide lottery game. Draws happen twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

For every $5 play that you buy, you get three sets of seven numbers between 1 and 50.

In order to win, a single set must have three, four, five, six or seven numbers that match the winning numbers. Certain prize categories also allow you to make use of a bonus number, which is selected at each draw.
