Lotto 649 is changing its games and now Canadians will have a shot a winning even more money with the new and improved game.
To celebrate the lotto’s 40th anniversary, players will be able to win two multi-million dollar jackpots on every draw.
Currently, each Lotto 649 gets you one set of numbers from 1 to 49 for the Main Draw Jackpot and a 10-digit set of numbers for the $1 million Guaranteed Prize Draw. The main jackpot starts at $5 million and increases until it’s won with a $1 million dollar guaranteed prize draw.
Starting Wednesday, every Lotto 649 draw will start offering two jackpots, the Classic Draw and the Gold Ball Jackpot.
The main draw will become the Classic Draw and offer a $5 million jackpot every single time.
Each draw for that prize will be six numbers between one and 49.
The guaranteed prize draw will become the new Gold Ball Jackpot, with a winner on every draw that will either get the guaranteed $1 million prize or the new jackpot that starts at $10 million and can reach over $60 million.
Tickets for the new Lotto 649 can be purchased as of today (sun).
Last night’s (sat) winning numbers are 11, 15, 19, 29, 41 and 49. The bonus number is 38.
