The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) says three $1 million Maxmillions tickets were drawn in Ontario on Tuesday. One sold somewhere in Ottawa and the other in Nepean. A ticket sold in Etobicoke is also worth $1 million.
The $70 million jackpot was not won on Tuesday, meaning Friday's drawing will offer a $70 million prize and an estimated 56 Maxmillions prizes, for a total of $126 million.
An OLG spokesperson told CTV News Ottawa that if the $70 million prize is not won in the next few drawings, the total winnings could surpass the all-time record of $140 million. In the June 18 and 22, 2021 draws, the top prize was $70 million and there were 70 Maxmillions prizes.
The delay in announcing the results of Tuesday's draw was due to a technical problem in another province, the OLG said.
