The largest grand prize of any Canadian lottery remains the $63.4 million Lotto 6-49 jackpot in April 2013 that was shared by four winners.
So what are your odds of actually winning?
The jackpot for next Friday’s Lotto Max draw will be approximately $22 million. If no one wins the big prize this weekend, the jackpot will be carried over to October 2.
Allan Krizanowski was also buying tickets Friday afternoon at the mall, a tradition he has been partaking in since 1979 (the most he’s won is $127). “I would be handing out one hundred dollar bills!” said one man who had bought his ticket earlier in the week.
“It would be nice money to get”, says Weir.
If he won the jackpot, Krizanowski says he’d look after his family first and then spend what he can.
“I would help people in the Downtown Eastside”.
“I would give away $55 million of it to charitable causes”, she said.
