In a stunning twist of fate, a simple $3 Lotto 6/49 ticket has turned into a life-changing jackpot for a lucky Canadian. This incredible win comes amid a weekend of major lottery draws, where millions of dollars were up for grabs in both the Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 draws.
On Friday, April 4, the Lotto Max draw offered a staggering $22 million jackpot, but despite the massive prize, no one was able to match all seven winning numbers: 06, 18, 22, 40, 41, 43, and 46, along with the bonus number 04. As a result, the Lotto Max jackpot remains unclaimed. Similarly, no one won the $165,056.90 second prize.

However, three lucky players each matched six of the seven winning numbers to win the third prize, securing $6,113.20 each. While B.C. saw no winners for the $500,000 Lotto Max Extra, and Ontario missed out on the $1 million Encore prize, the big prizes are already stacking up for the next draw.
The next Lotto Max jackpot is expected to soar to $27 million, scheduled for Tuesday, April 8.
But while the Lotto Max results might not have produced any jackpot winners, the Lotto 6/49 draw on Saturday, April 5 proved to be the highlight for big-ticket winners.
