The clinic is open 1-7pm.

No Lotto Max winner Friday night, so that means the jackpot jumps for tonight’s draw.

The grand prize is now $50 million.

Since the Lotto Max jackpot has reached $50 million now, that means there will also be Maxmillions, and two prizes worth $1 million each will be up for grabs.

Tickets are available online or in store until 10:30pm on draw nights.
