A single Lotto Max ticket holder in Québec has just claimed one of the largest lottery prizes of the year — a $50 million jackpot from the September 5, 2025 draw. The winning numbers for the main draw were 04, 16, 20, 30, 34, 46, 50, with the bonus number 40.
In addition to the jackpot, Lotto Max announced two MaxMillions $1 million prizes, with winning combinations 05, 28, 29, 36, 41, 48, 49 and 06, 24, 28, 32, 41, 45, 48.
According to Loto-Québec, the winning $50 million ticket was sold in the province, marking yet another major lottery success for Québec players.
Québec’s Streak of Big Wins in 2025
This $50 million jackpot isn’t an isolated event. Québec has been at the center of several massive lottery wins this year:
- July 11, 2025 – Two residents, Jacques Deschamps of Montérégie and Wilhelmina Van Leeuwen of Montréal, split a $70 million jackpot, each taking home $35 million.
- June 2025 – A group of 15 coworkers at a car dealership in Trois-Rivières shared a $20 million prize, instantly creating 15 new millionaires.
These back-to-back wins highlight just how frequently Québec players are cashing in on life-changing jackpots.
