The Lotto Max jackpot hits a record-breaking $90 million, what are the odds you'll win?
A record $90 million Lotto Max jackpot for Saturday is drawing intense ticket demand in Pickering, Ontario, after no winning ticket was sold for Tuesday’s $85 million draw. At Smokers Corner, owner Issa Kakisa said the line for tickets has been “crazy,” with some customers spending hundreds of dollars; one buyer reportedly spent $2,000 for this draw. The jackpot is Canada’s largest single lottery prize ever offered. Lottery hopefuls in the article described plans ranging from buying mansions, boats, cottages and a Land Rover to supporting animal shelters, hospitals, and people experiencing homelessness. The odds of winning the jackpot are roughly one in 33 million, compared to flipping a coin and getting heads 25 times in a row. A Toronto-based wealth manager, Wolfgang Klein of Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, warned that such windfalls can be difficult to handle psychologically.
