The record-breaking Lotto Max jackpot worth $80 million was split between two winning tickets — one sold in Ontario and one sold in Quebec, the OLG said.
Tuesday night’s historic draw saw a lucky winner from Grey County in Ontario and a lucky winner in Quebec take home $40 million each.
According to the OLG website, the winning numbers were: 02, 04, 11, 16, 25, 29, 47 + 34 Bonus.
The number of maxmillion prizes reached 24 because of the number of ticket sales, OLG said.
Four maxmillions tickets were sold in Ontario. One in Guelph, one in Whitby, one in Toronto and a fourth on OLG.ca.

Meanwhile, the OLG announced earlier this week who the lucky winner was behind the $70 million Lotto Max draw from Aug. 20.
A couple from Iroquois Falls, Ont. had just returned from a Toronto hospital, where they had a newborn, to find out they had won big.
Kyle Murray, 39, had actually purchased his first lottery ticket ever at an Esso on Algonquin Boulevard in Timmins, Ont.
The couple scanned the ticket on the OLG app and heard the ‘Winner/Gagnant’ sound and realized they had won the jackpot.
