Lotto Max Delivers Big Wins in Alberta as $80 Million Jackpot Rolls On
So here’s what’s been happening with Lotto Max around the December 23 draw, and it’s one of those stories that mixes big celebrations with even bigger anticipation. While the headline jackpot of $80 million was not claimed, plenty of people across Canada still had reasons to celebrate, especially in Alberta, where four players ended up winning significant prizes.
According to reports, the December draw didn’t produce a single ticket that matched all seven numbers needed to take home the massive top prize. That means the $80 million jackpot is still alive and has now rolled over yet again, setting the stage for another high-stakes draw on Boxing Day. For many players, it’s being seen as a delayed Christmas gift that could still land in someone’s hands.

Even though the jackpot itself went untouched, the draw was far from disappointing. In Alberta alone, four winners were confirmed, each scoring major prizes through the Maxmillions and other secondary wins. These prizes may not carry the jaw-dropping headline number of the main jackpot, but they are still life-changing amounts for the people holding those lucky tickets. It was another reminder that Lotto Max isn’t just about the top prize; plenty of million-dollar stories are being created along the way.
Ontario also saw a wave of winners. Several Maxmillions prizes worth $1 million each were claimed in cities like Ajax, Etobicoke, Mississauga, and Markham. On top of that, $500,000 Maxmillions prizes were won in Toronto, Nepean, and Woodbridge. Encore tickets worth $100,000 were also sold in multiple regions, adding even more names to the growing list of holiday-season winners.
Looking ahead, the next draw is scheduled for Friday, December 26, and the excitement is only building. The $80 million jackpot will be up for grabs once again, along with 46 Maxmillions prizes, bringing the total prize pool across all draws to an estimated $126 million. While that’s huge, lottery officials have noted it still doesn’t beat the all-time record of $140 million offered back in June 2021.
As always, players are being reminded that winning the jackpot requires matching all seven numbers, with odds of about one in 33 million per play. Still, the overall odds of winning any prize are much better, sitting at roughly one in seven. Tickets can be purchased up until 10:30 p.m. on the night of the draw, and for now, the dream of an $80 million win remains very much alive.
