The Lotto Max winning numbers for Tuesday, July 28 have been released, and Canadian players are checking their tickets closely. This draw carried a $10 million jackpot, along with several other cash prizes. Additionally, Maxplus prizes worth $100,000 each were also on the table. Here is everything you need to know about the results, the jackpot, and how the game works.

A lot of players look forward to Tuesday and Friday draws every week. Therefore, checking the Lotto Max winning numbers right after each draw has become a habit for many. Below, we break down the numbers, the unclaimed jackpot, and details about the next big prize.

What Are the Lotto Max Winning Numbers for Tuesday, July 28?

The Lotto Max winning numbers for July 28 are 3, 5, 15, 21, 27, 38 and 49, with 18 as the bonus number. No ticket matched all seven numbers this time. As a result, the $10 million jackpot rolls over to the next draw.

None of the Maxplus prizes worth $100,000 were claimed either. However, thousands of smaller cash prizes worth between $20 and $2,000 were won across Canada. This means many players walked away with smaller wins, even without hitting the jackpot.

Since nobody won the top prize, the Lotto Max jackpot keeps growing. Consequently, the next Lotto Max draw on July 31 will offer a $15 million jackpot. That is a significant jump, so more players may be tempted to buy tickets before the next draw closes.

Previous Draw: Lotto Max Winning Numbers for Friday, July 24

Looking back, the Lotto Max winning numbers for July 24 were 5, 7, 8, 22, 30, 36 and 37. The bonus number was 2. Unlike the July 28 draw, this one actually produced a big winner.

A winning ticket in Ontario scored the $25 million jackpot in Friday’s draw. Specifically, it was sold in Oxford County, which sits between London and Brantford. This made for a rather exciting finish to that week’s draw.

Meanwhile, two of the $100,000 Maxplus prizes were also won. One ticket was sold in Ontario, and the other in Quebec. So, that Friday draw brought several lucky winners across two provinces.

How Do You Play Lotto Max?

Lotto Max draws happen on Tuesdays and Fridays across Canada. For every $6 play, players now receive four sets of numbers. Each set includes seven numbers ranging from 1 to 52.

Understanding the prize structure helps players know what to expect. For instance, matching all seven numbers wins the jackpot outright. Meanwhile, smaller matches still offer decent rewards. Here is a breakdown of what matching numbers could win:

• 7/7 — jackpot
• 6/7 plus bonus — approximately 18.50% of the prize pool
• 6/7 — approximately 18.85% of the prize pool
• 5/7 plus bonus — approximately 12.25% of the prize pool
• 5/7 — approximately 27.50% of the prize pool
• 4/7 plus bonus — approximately 22.90% of the prize pool
• 4/7 — $20
• 3/7 plus bonus — $20
• 3/7 — free play ($6 value)

The jackpot typically starts at $10 million. However, it can climb all the way up to $90 million if it goes unclaimed for several draws in a row. This is exactly why the current Lotto Max jackpot has grown from $10 million to $15 million already.

Once the jackpot reaches $50 million, Maxmillions prizes also become available. These are additional $1 million prizes offered alongside the main draw. Therefore, players have even more chances to win big once the jackpot hits that mark.

All sets of numbers included in a $5 play are eligible for both the main draw and the Maxmillions draw. To win a Maxmillions prize, though, players must match all seven numbers on a single line. So, every line on the ticket counts separately.

New $100,000 cash prizes are also introduced with every draw. Notably, the number of Maxplus prizes available increases as the jackpot grows larger. This gives players extra incentive to keep playing as the jackpot builds.

Finally, tickets are sold until 10:30 p.m. ET on Tuesdays and Fridays. This is also when the Lotto Max winning numbers are officially drawn. So, players should buy tickets well before that cutoff time.

With the jackpot now sitting at $15 million for the July 31 draw, excitement is building among regular players. Whether or not someone claims the Lotto Max jackpot next, thousands of smaller prizes will likely be won again. Keep checking back for the latest winning numbers after every draw.
