It stands at $75 million for Tuesday’s draw, according to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

It’s the biggest jackpot since Dec. 3, 2024, when it was $80 million. That prize won by two tickets, one in Western Canada and another in Quebec.

Tuesday’s draw will also have an estimated 12 $1 million maxmillion prizes, the OLG said.

So what are the odds of winning the massive prize?

For every $5 play, you have an approximate 1 in 33,294,800 of matching seven out of seven numbers and winning the jackpot, the OLG says.

Percentage-wise, that’s around 0.000003 per cent.

In contrast, you have around a 99.999997 per cent chance of not winning the jackpot.

The same applies to individual maxmillion draws, as those also require a seven out of seven match.

But, of course, sometimes people do win the massive prize, beating the seemingly impossible odds.
