NANAIMO — Someone’s got to win it, so it might as well be you.

The jackpot for the Tuesday, Sept. 28 Lotto Max draw is will be the maximum $70 million, with an estimated 13 extra $1 million prizes on offer.

The total amount on offer Tuesday is a far cry from record highs set back in the spring and summer, where total prize pools were in excess of $120 million by the time someone matched all the right numbers.

During the record stretch one Nanaimo player, Ria Edmond, won $500,000 after matching enough numbers on a June 15 draw to split a $1 million prize with a winner in Ontario.

It was the latest substantial lotto win for Nanaimo players.
