Lottery record prize up for grabs tonight

Tonight’s Lotto 6/49 jackpot is the biggest prize ever offered in Canada.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. (OLG) says the jackpot is estimated to reach $64 million, pushing past the previous record prize of $63.4 million won in 2013.

The jackpot has rolled over 11 times since a $7 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot was last won on September 5th.

According to the OLG, a Lotto 6/49 jackpot greater than $30 million has been won 35 times; the top number sequence in the lottery is 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42; and the most frequently drawn Lotto 6/49 numbers are 31, 45 and 40

A $60-million Lotto Max jackpot was won by a group of 12 co-workers from Markham who each took home $5 million.

Tickets for the draw can be purchased until 10:30 p.m.
