Lottery players across Ontario and the rest of Canada checked their tickets Friday night as another massive Lotto Max draw took place with a $60 million jackpot on the line.
While many were hoping for a life-changing win, the night didn’t quite deliver the big one.
The winning numbers
The winning numbers for the Friday, May 1, 2026, draw were:
09, 13, 15, 25, 27, 35, 52
Bonus: 39
Encore: 4761021
No jackpot winner… but plenty of prizes handed out
Despite the massive prize pool, no ticket matched all seven numbers, meaning the $60 million jackpot was not won.
However, thousands of players still walked away with prizes:
- 43 tickets matched 6 out of 7 numbers, each winning $5,834.60
- 133 tickets matched 5 numbers plus the bonus, winning $1,225.90
- Over 164,000 total winners across all prize tiers
- More than 800,000 players scored a free play
Maxmillions delivers a big win
One of the night’s biggest moments came from the Maxmillions draw.
Out of several $1 million prizes available, one ticket matched all seven numbers:
01, 03, 07, 16, 29, 36, 39
That ticket is now worth $1 million.
Maxplus quietly hands out cash
The MaxPlus add-on also saw multiple winners, with several tickets hitting $100,000 prizes across different number combinations.
In total, $700,000 in MaxPlus prizes was awarded.
What’s next?
With the jackpot rolling over, the next Lotto Max draw is already building momentum:
Next draw: Tuesday, May 5
Estimated jackpot: $65 million
+ 8 Maxmillions
+ 65 x $100,000 prizes
For players, that means another shot at a growing jackpot… and maybe, finally, that one ticket that changes everything.
