Friday is a big day for lottery fans in Canada as the jackpot of the nation's highly popular Lotto Max draw has reached a record high of $70 million, comprising a main $50 million lotto jackpot plus twenty $1 million jackpots.

As such Lotto Max Canada fever has gripped the nation, and in the next two days millions of lottery fans are expected to stock up on tickets. Because nobody matched the Lotto Max jackpot last Friday, $20m was added to the pot.

This is unique to Lotto Max Canada, where instead of the jackpot increasing until it is won, it has a $50 million ceiling and in the case of a rollover like last week, twenty Maxmillions jackpots have been added on Friday to spice things up.

So now that 21 potential instant millionaires could be created as a result of Friday night's Lotto Max Canada draw, even many non-lottery fans are expected to get in on the action for the chance of winning instant 'debt-crushing' riches.

This Lotto Max Canada bonanza comes just weeks after welder, Cameron Blair, from Beaumont in Alberta won himself a life-changing $41.7 million Lotto Max jackpot. On Friday, even his mammoth windfall could be overshadowed.

While it is now commonplace for lotteries around the world to reach into the tens and even millions of dollars in jackpots, few people can actually grasp just how much money $5 million is never mind $50 million where the sky is the limit.

Short of large jets and yachts, there are few things that $50 million can't buy. But every Lotto Max Canada jackpot winner is different. Some look to the future by investing their money, while others live for the here and now, and blow it all.
