One $1 million MaxMillions prize also won

In addition to the main jackpot, one $1 million MaxMillions prize was claimed in the same January 9 draw.

Five MaxMillions number combinations were available that evening, but only one was matched, resulting in a single $1 million winner.

Winning MaxMillions combination:

• 03 13 29 33 37 42 49
  • 1 winner — $1,000,000

The remaining MaxMillions combinations were not matched and therefore went unclaimed:

• 01 02 15 23 25 38 49
• 01 12 14 18 25 26 39
• 01 17 26 30 33 37 38
• 10 23 30 38 41 46 50

A life-changing night for winners

Matching all seven Lotto Max numbers carries odds of roughly 1 in 33 million, while MaxMillions prizes offer additional chances at seven-figure wins once the jackpot exceeds $50 million.

Details about where the winning Lotto Max and MaxMillions tickets were sold and who purchased them have not yet been released. OLG typically shares that information once prizes are officially claimed and validated.

With the $55 million jackpot now claimed and a $1 million MaxMillions prize awarded, the Lotto Max jackpot will reset for the next draw, giving players a fresh opportunity to chase the top prize.
