VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 20, 2011) - The holiday season may be extra jolly for lottery players with an estimated $50 Million jackpot available to be won on Friday's LOTTO MAX draw.
Every $5 LOTTO MAX ticket sold for the December 23 draw offers players three chances to win the $50 Million jackpot plus an estimated 2 MAXMILLION prizes of $1 million each.
Winning a MAXMILLION prize is similar to winning the main jackpot - a player must match all seven winning numbers drawn for that prize. If no ticket wins the $50 million jackpot, it will again carry over to the next draw, along with any MAXMILLIONS that are not won.
Last year, a 72-year-old Pitt Meadows, B.C. man won $3.2 million after matching his numbers on a Christmas Day Lotto 6/49 ticket.
LOTTO MAX:
- Jackpot draws held every Friday night
