Lotto Max August 5 Draw Leaves Jackpot Unclaimed
The highly anticipated $55 million Lotto Max draw on Tuesday, August 5, left players across Canada holding their breath — but once again, no ticket matched all seven winning numbers to claim the top prize.
The winning numbers drawn were:
04, 08, 12, 26, 29, 33, 37 with the bonus number 24.
While the jackpot rolled over, it wasn’t all disappointment.
Ontario Player Wins Big with Second-Tier Prize

Third Prize Winners Across Canada
It was a lucky night for dozens of other Canadians, too.
