NANAIMO — Weeks without a winner is giving people across the country fresh doses of lotto fever.

The Lotto Max draw for Friday, Oct. 14 will again cap at the maximum jackpot of $70 million with an estimated 60 $1 million additional prizes offered.

The total estimated prize pool of $130 million up for grabs Friday night will sit just below the record of $140 million set in June 2021, a stretch finally broken by a fair of main jackpot winners and 46 people claiming the additional prizes.

One ticket purchased in Nanaimo won $500,000 during the record run last year.
