Lotto Max odds & prize statistics
Lotto Max draws 7 numbers from 52. Below is every prize tier with its exact odds, the combinatorics behind the jackpot, and interactive tools to put those numbers in perspective.
Lotto Max in plain English
A Lotto Max line picks 7 numbers from 52. Match everything for the jackpot — there are several smaller tiers below it too.
In April 2026 Lotto Max moved to a 7/52 matrix; each C$6 ticket buys 4 separate selections, so the per-line odds below are roughly four times better per ticket — the operator quotes about 1 in 5.8 to win any prize per ticket. A bonus ball is drawn from the same pool for the 6 + Bonus tier. Upper tiers are pari-mutuel; the lowest tiers pay fixed small prizes or a free play. Draws are Tuesday and Friday.
That single number is where every odds figure on this page comes from: you choose 7 numbers from 52 (the bonus ball is then drawn from the remaining 45), giving 133,784,560 equally-likely outcomes. Exactly one of them is the jackpot line — which is why the jackpot odds are 1 in 133,784,560.

Why there's no fixed prize table
Lotto Max is pari-mutuel: each prize tier shares a slice of ticket sales, split between everyone who matched that tier in that draw. So the odds below are exact and fixed, but the amounts change every single draw and can't be listed as fixed figures — anyone quoting you a guaranteed payout for these tiers is guessing.

Every draw below is generated by your device's cryptographic RNG (crypto.getRandomValues) — the same fairness our SHA-256 generators are built on. Run a batch and watch how rarely the top tiers actually land.
Lotto Max myths, busted
Every Lotto Max draw is independent. A number that hasn't appeared in months is exactly as likely as any other — the balls have no memory.
Random picks and hand-chosen lines have identical odds. Quick picks only win more in total because more people use them.
A line like 1-2-3-4-5 is exactly as likely as any other. The only reason to skip popular patterns is to avoid sharing a prize if they come up.
