Québec Max
Québec Max
Grand prize of $2M + 14 prizes of $1M up for grabs in every draw
It was a genius idea!
These neighbours decided to play the lottery as a group... while at a cookout!
“What’s up? Did you win a million dollars?”
Marie was treated to a big surprise on her birthday!
“It’s official. I’m retiring.”
Who wouldn’t love to retire with $1M?

How to play
- You may play online, using the mobile app or at a Loto-Québec retailer where you can pick your own numbers or opt for one or more selections randomly generated by Loto-Québec's computer.
- One play includes 3 selections of 7 numbers from 1 to 50.
- For the main draw, prizes can be won in 9 categories, i.e. 7/7, 6/7+Bonus, 6/7, 5/7+Bonus, 5/7, 4/7+Bonus, 4/7, 3/7+Bonus and 3/7. To win, you need to get, in a single selection, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 numbers identical to those of the winning selection. The bonus number, identified by the "+B" symbol, is only associated with the categories 6/7+B, 5/7+B, 4/7+B and 3/7+B. To win in these categories, a single selection must contain respectively, in addition to the bonus number, 6, 5, 4 or 3 numbers that are identical to those of the winning selection.
