Lotto Max is getting a substantive refresh in spring 2026. The jackpot cap rises from $80 million to $90 million, and every draw will add a new stream of $100,000 prizes that scale with the advertised jackpot—for example, 10 prizes at a $10 million jackpot up to 90 prizes at $90 million. The first draw under the new format is scheduled for April 14, 2026.
To support the added prizing, the ticket price moves from $5 to $6 per play, and each play will now include four seven-number selections (up from three), which improves the overall odds of winning any prize (communicated as roughly 1 in 5.8 vs. 1 in 7.0 previously). Communications about these changes are being led nationally through provincial lottery channels (e.g., OLG, BCLC, Loto-Québec).
