And the reason is that thanks to a 'double rollover', the jackpot of Canada's Lotto 6/49 for tonight's draw (Wednesday, September 1) is a whopping $11 million, which even the biggest Lotto Max fans will sit up and take notice of.
On Saturday the jackpot of Lotto 6/49 was $7 million, but there were no tickets that had all six numbers right. So ahead of tonight's highly anticipated draw, the Canada Lotto jackpot has jumped up by $4 million to make $11 million.
As such, participating lottery outlets are expected to be inundated with lotto fans all through the day up until the live draw where hopefully one lucky Lotto 6/49 ticket holder will win it all, and become Canada's latest lottery millionaire.
The last time a Canada Lottery jackpot reached this high was in August, where a series of rollovers pushed the jackpot to an unbelievable $11.4 million before it was won. These rollovers have sparked new interest in the Lotto 6/49.
Interestingly, the odds of getting all six numbers in the Canada Lottery are 1 in 13,983,816. But despite such mammoth odds, in the end somebody always manages to win it. So the $11 million question is why shouldn't that be you?
