Another lucky Ontarian is millions of dollars richer after snagging the winning ticket to Tuesday night’s $65 million Lotto Max jackpot.
The winning ticket was sold somewhere in Toronto, specifically in Etobicoke.
This makes it the 8th consecutive win in Ontario so far this year. However, September’s $80 million Lotto Max jackpot was split between an Ontario winning ticket and one sold in Quebec — dividing the prize money into $40 million each.
“So far since February, OLG has paid out a combined $400 million in Lotto Max jackpot winnings to lucky Lotto Max players across this province,” OLG said in a news release Wednesday.
The winning numbers for Tuesday night’s draw according to OLG’s website are: 08, 12, 19, 20, 26, 32, 46 + 27 Bonus.
Meanwhile, several other prizes were also won in Ontario including two maxmillions tickets, each worth $500,000 due to split, sold in Burlington and on OLG.ca.
An Encore ticket worth $100,000 was sold in Burlington again with another $100,000 ticket sold in Toronto.

The last Lotto Max jackpot winner(s)
Last month, the Lotto Max jackpot hit $80 million and on Sept. 17 there were two winning tickets that split the prize in half. A couple from Owen Sound in Ontario got $40 million and a retired gym teacher from Quebec’s Outaouais region got the other $40 million.

The Owen Sound couple, 46 and 47-year-old Stephanie and Bryan Cantwell, said they typically try to play Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 once a week, often buying the tickets from a Petro-Canada in Owen Sound where a family friend works.
“I was still in shock, so I checked some other tickets to ensure the app was working properly,” Bryan said.
“I went back to the winning ticket and scanned it again and again. I think I checked it seven or eight times. The message remained the same – ‘Big Winner’ and ‘$40 million!’”
In Quebec, Bernard Morissette said he has been playing the same lottery numbers for years, and after nearly forgetting, he made a purchase in the nick of time that paid off.
Morissette, who is in his 80s, suddenly remembered he hadn’t bought his ticket around 9 p.m. the night of the historic draw. He was watching television when he went to buy the ticket online.
He then made the last-minute purchase with the same lottery numbers he always plays. The first six digits are the dates of his grandchildren’s birthdays.
A Loto-Québec employee reached out to him with the life-changing news: he’s a multi-millionaire.
Lotto Max is drawn every Tuesday and Friday.
