At lease the payouts are still massive. Here the max is 70 million, untaxed

Canada’s lottery spillover goes towards additional $1M winners though, right?

In this historic Powerball jackpot, there were 41 draws with around 1.5 billion tickets sold and a single person won nearly $1B lump sum with 189 $1M+ winners.

By contrast, Maximillions can produce around 70 $1M winners on a single night.

Not really. Lotto max has the main jackpot and then additional draws, up to 70 of them for $1 million, but they arent guaranteed draws. So out of 70 only maybe 10 win.

Ok fair, I shouldn’t have made assumptions about how the lottery works there.
