Media Advisory: LOTTO MAX draw - Timing of winning numbers

TORONTO, June 11 /CNW/ - LOTTO MAX - Canada's new big-jackpot lottery game - is delivering Canada's largest-ever lottery draw ever this Friday night (June 11, 2010) with a total of $70 million in top prize money available, including the main jackpot of $50 million plus 20 individual MAXMILLIONS prizes of $1 million each.

News media and lottery customers are asked to please note that it will take some extra time to conduct the 20 additional MAXMILLIONS draws, and that will likely result in publishing the winning numbers later than usual. We will publish the winning numbers as quickly as possible on Saturday. We are reminding customers of the additional time required to complete all the draws through messages on the Winning Numbers section of our website at OLG.ca and on our winning numbers phone lines (OLG WIN LINE: 1-866-891-8946 or 1-416-870-8946.)

OLG is a provincial agency responsible for province-wide lottery games and gaming facilities. Since 1975, OLG lotteries, casinos, slots, and resort casinos have generated more than $32 billion for the benefit of the Province of Ontario. Gaming proceeds support Ontario's hospitals, amateur sport, recreational and cultural activities, communities, provincial priority programs such as health care and education, and local and provincial charities and non-profit organizations through the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
