Record $90-million Lotto Max jackpot won in Alberta after Tuesday's draw, OLG says
The record-setting $90 million Lotto Max jackpot was won in Alberta, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation said. The win followed Tuesday night's draw, and Global News reported it on Wednesday. Global News described the prize as record-setting. The identity of the winner was not part of the reporting. The same OLG announcement was carried in Canadian headline listings that day.
Lotto Max jackpots grow when no ticket matches every number, and large prizes tend to draw more ticket sales. A record prize being won ends that build-up and resets the jackpot for the next draw.
If you bought a ticket for Tuesday's draw, check your numbers through the official app or a retailer. Prizes are claimed through the lottery corporation of the province where the ticket was sold.
Coverage treats the win as a good-news item: a record prize, a winner in Alberta, announced by OLG. The focus is on the size of the jackpot.
A different view appears in CBC's same-day report that MPs are moving to restrict gambling ads amid mounting harms. In that view, promotion of big jackpots is part of a wider debate over gambling.
Confirmed: a $90 million Lotto Max jackpot was won in Alberta after Tuesday's draw, per OLG and Global News. Not confirmed: who won or when the prize will be claimed. Watch for the winner's announcement and the next jackpot size.
