Two Canadian lottery players just turned into multimillionaires after hitting it big in back-to-back jackpot wins across recent draws.
One of the biggest wins came on Friday, June 5, when the Lotto Max numbers 11, 16, 27, 34, 40, 47, and 49 (Bonus 26) were drawn. An Alberta player matched all seven numbers and walked away with a massive $15 million jackpot.
Highlights from this draw:
- 1 winner in Alberta scored $15 million
- 2 players matched six numbers plus the bonus → $76,766.90 each
- Tickets for those wins were purchased in Ontario and online in New Brunswick
- 35 third-prize winners took home $4,469.70 each
- Out of 15 MaxPlus prizes, only one winner grabbed $100,000 (Ontario)
- No winners for the $500,000 B.C. Lotto Max Extra or $1 million Ontario Encore
Big wins didn’t stop there.
On Saturday, June 6, Ontario saw another major payday when a player hit the Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball Jackpot worth $12 million, matching the winning number set 57357280-01. The ticket was sold through OLG’s online platform. Unfortunately, there were no winners for the $5 million Classic Draw top prize, the $188,973.10 second prize, or the extra $500,000 and $1 million Encore prizes in B.C. and Ontario.
Lottery luck has been on a serious streak lately. Just before these wins:
- May 29: Ontario player won $10 million
- May 26: Calgary winner took home $15 million
And the excitement isn’t slowing down. The next draws are already lined up:
- Lotto Max draw on Tuesday, June 9 with a $10 million top prize
- Another draw on Wednesday, June 10, featuring a $10 million Gold Ball prize
It’s been a wild run of jackpots across Canada—proof that life-changing wins can land when you least expect them.
