Also, beginning May 11, 2019, Canadians will be able to play Lotto Max every Tuesday, in addition to the existing Friday draw.
The Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) said the second draw every week means lottery players will see jackpots grow more quickly than ever before.

There will also be two new prize categories: match 5/7+bonus, and match 4/7+bonus.
The lottery said the odds of winning the main jackpot will be 1 in 33.3 million per $5 ticket.
