8 Q&A Why is Lotto Max changing? For the first time in the game s history, Lotto Max jackpots can grow up to $0 million, and having a second draw every week means you will see bigger jackpots sooner. We think that new, bigger jackpots up to $0 million will be exciting to both new and existing lottery players and help drive traffic to your stores. Is the price of Lotto Max changing too? No, Lotto Max will still cost $ per play (which includes three selections). How will the second weekly draw affect the roll pattern and the speed of jackpot growth? We don t expect that having Lotto Max draws on Tuesdays and Fridays will affect the roll pattern. The jackpot will still start at a minimum of $0 million and it will grow by at least $ million when it s not won. In fact, having two draws in a week reduces the time between draws which means jackpots will grow more quickly. Does the change make it harder to win on Lotto Max? The changes do lengthen the odds of winning the jackpot and the existing prize categories; however, this means that the jackpot can have more time to grow. Players will still see a win at a similar frequency after the changes, as the overall odds to win any prize changes slightly from in. to in.0 for the new Lotto Max. What do you expect the non-jackpot prize categories will pay in the new prize structure? The set prize categories for matching / (free play), / + Bonus ($0) and / ($0) will not change. We expect the amounts in the /, / and / + Bonus category will be the same as the prize amounts in the previous structure: The / category will pay about $00 The / category will pay about $,00 The / + Bonus category will pay about $00,000 The new / + Bonus category will pay about $0 The new / + Bonus category will pay about $00 The actual amounts depend on the total number of winners in the category, as well as sales and the number of fixed prizes won. How often (ie. times per year) do you expect the main jackpot will reach $0 million after the changes take place? We estimate that the jackpot could reach $0 million about three to five times per year. Of course, the actual number of times depends on the number of selections issued per draw and the winning numbers drawn. Will any new Lotto Packages be offered as part of the new changes to the game? Yes, for retail locations (excluding Self-Service Terminals). On May, 0, BCLC will begin to offer a new $0 Weekly Pack that includes tickets for a full week of draws for Lotto Max, Lotto /, BC/ and Daily Grand, plus the Extra for each game. For example, if a player buys a $0 Weekly Pack on a Wednesday before the Lotto /, that would include tickets for: One Lotto Max plus Extra for Friday s draw One Lotto Max plus Extra for next Tuesday s draw One Lotto /, one BC/ plus Extra for tonight s draw One Lotto /, one BC/ plus Extra for Saturday s draw One Daily Grand plus Extra for Thursday s draw One Daily Grand plus Extra for next Monday s draw FOR MORE INFORMATION Please visit BCLC s Retailer Hub, contact your BCLC Territory Manager or Lottery Support Hotline at
