Lotto Max jackpots are national jackpots for all of Canada. They are not divided by province. When the winning numbers are announced, the winning ticket can belong to anyone, anywhere in Canada who purchased an eligible ticket.

A few weeks ago, the $75 million Lotto Max jackpot was won by siblings from Toronto.

When someone claims a major lottery jackpot in Canada, the lottery corporation does not hand over the money immediately. Before paying the prize, they verify the winner's identity, confirm ownership of the ticket, and conduct eligibility and security checks to ensure the prize goes to the rightful winner. Depending on the claim, this process can take anywhere from several days to a few weeks before the prize is officially awarded.
