Lotto Max jackpot climbs to record $85 million after no winner in Friday draw
The prize will be up for grabs in the next draw on Oct. 13, along with 16 Maxmillions prizes of $1 million each.
No ticket matched all seven numbers in Friday's Lotto Max draw, pushing the jackpot to a record $85 million for the next draw.
The winning combination for the Oct. 11 draw was 06, 10, 19, 25, 29, 39, 50 and bonus 30.
The jackpot, which was set at $80 million for Friday, will now roll over to the draw on Tuesday, Oct. 13.

"This is a first for LOTTO MAX, and we want to celebrate it with players right here in the Prairies," Kevin van Egdom, a spokesperson for Lotto Spot, said in a news release.
The $85 million prize is the largest in the history of Canadian lotto, surpassing the previous record of $80 million.
That $80 million jackpot was claimed in December 2024 and split between two winners, including a player from Hamiota, Man., and a winning ticket sold in Quebec.
A previous $80 million record was claimed in December 2025 and split between two friends in London, Ont.
In April, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation raised the price of a Lotto Max ticket from $5 to $6 and increased the potential jackpot cap to $90 million.
OLG officials said at the time the changes could bring a potential jackpot of $90 million, but so far, every draw has been claimed before approaching the new cap.
Earlier this year, Lotto Max upgraded its jackpot cap to $90 million and added new $100,000 prizes on every draw.
Alongside the $85 million jackpot, the Oct. 13 draw will offer 16 Maxmillions prizes worth an estimated $1 million each.
It will also feature 85 Maxplus prizes worth $100,000 each.
Lotto Spot street teams will be out across the Prairies next week asking people one thing: "What would you do with $85 million?"
"It's been exciting to watch the conversation grow across the Prairies as this jackpot has climbed," van Egdom said.
The last major Lotto Max win came in December 2024, when a player from Hamiota, Man. shared the jackpot with a winning ticket sold in Quebec.
