Lotto Max
Lotto Max is the BCLC draw game with a jackpot that starts at $10 million and can roll to $80 million. If the jackpot reaches $50 million, $1 million MAXMILLIONS prizes also become available. For $1 more per play, add the Extra option for the chance to win up to $500,000. Draws take place every Tuesday and Friday at 7:30 PM PT.
How to Play
For a $5 wager, you receive three chances to win. Your ticket will print with three sequences of seven numbers from 1 to 50. Choose your own first set of numbers and the second and third lines will be randomly generated by the lottery computer. Or for a faster play, check the Quick Pick box on your selection slip and all the numbers will be randomly selected. Each ticket has the option to play up to five times (15 number sets). For the most convenient way to play future draws, select Advance Buy to play up to 26 draws in a row.
Add the Extra option to your Lotto Max play for $1 more and you could win a top prize of $500,000. The four Extra numbers from 1 to 99 are automatically chosen for you, and you may add up to 10 Extra plays to your ticket. Take home the highest Extra prize if all four of your Extra numbers match the winning numbers.
When the Lotto Max jackpot reaches $50 million, your ticket will also be entered in MAXMILLIONS for the chance to win extra $1 million prizes. If all seven of your numbers match all the numbers drawn for Lotto Max OR MAXMILLIONS, you win the top prize for that game.

Prizes and Odds
In the table below you'll find the awesome prizes offered in the main Lotto Max draw plus the chances of winning on the main numbers plus the Bonus Number. Win the jackpot if you match all seven numbers drawn by the BC Lottery. There are nine total prize tiers, and the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 7 for a $5 play (made up of three lines of seven numbers each).
If more than one ticket matches all seven numbers drawn, the jackpot will be split among the winners. Prizes where a percentage of Pools Fund is indicated may also be shared by multiple winners.
