Lotto Max Results: August 1 Draw Brings Multiple Winners
$50-Million Jackpot Remains Unclaimed
The August 1 Lotto Max draw offered a tantalizing $50 million jackpot, but no ticket matched all seven numbers (12, 21, 26, 35, 39, 44, 50) plus the bonus number (18). Likewise, the second-tier prize of $221,317.60 also went unclaimed.
However, 40 lucky players across Canada matched six of the seven winning numbers and walked away with $5,532.90 each — not bad for a near miss.
