Enter one line of seven numbers — we'll check it against this draw.
Every $6 play has four lines. Check each one separately. MAXMILLIONS and MAXPLUS numbers are drawn separately and listed further down this page.
Lightning Lotto costs $6 per play, and every play gives you four sets of seven numbers from 1 to 52. Choose the first set yourself and let Quick Pick handle the other three, or Quick Pick all four.
Match all seven numbers on one line to win the jackpot. Combination Play is available in 8 and 9 number formats, in store only. ENCORE can be added for $1 per play.
From the April 14, 2026 draw, Lightning Lotto went from $5 to $6 a play, the number pool grew from 1–50 to 1–52, and the jackpot cap rose from $70 million to $90 million.
MAXPLUS also arrived: $100,000 prizes drawn at every jackpot level, one for each $1 million of jackpot. A $10 million jackpot means ten of them; a $90 million jackpot means ninety.
Once the jackpot reaches $50 million, extra $1 million draws called MAXMILLIONS run alongside it while the jackpot keeps growing. Each is a separate seven-number draw, and you need all seven to win.
An unwon MAXMILLIONS prize rolls into the next jackpot or the next set of MAXMILLIONS, depending on whether the main jackpot was taken.
Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday. Ticket sales close at 10:30 PM Eastern — that's 9:30 PM Central, 8:30 PM Mountain and 7:30 PM Pacific.
Draws are conducted in Toronto by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation using a certified random number generator, which replaced the ball machines in May 2019.
Per play — each $6 play covers four lines.
Per single line the jackpot odds are 1 in 133,784,560. MAXPLUS and MAXMILLIONS draws carry the same odds as matching 7 of 7 in the main draw.
