  "account": "The upcoming Lotto Max jackpot has reached an astonishing $90 million, marking the largest lottery prize ever offered in Canada. This massive prize follows previous draws of $80 million and $85 million, neither of which had winning tickets. The $90 million prize, along with 18 Maxmillions worth $1 million each and 90 Maxplus prizes worth $100,000, totals an incredible $117 million in top prizes for this Friday's draw. Despite no one winning the grand jackpot, there were still several lucky Ontarians who walked away with substantial winnings. In Whitby and Hamilton, two Maxmillions worth $1 million each were sold, with two prize winners receiving $500,000 each. Toronto and Mississauga shared another Maxmillion, resulting in $500,000 for each of the two winners. Twelve Maxplus winning tickets were sold, with three individuals sharing a $50,000 Maxplus prize. Additionally, two people in the Lotto Max second prize category received $81,541.10 each, while encore winners in Ontario received $100,000. Lottery players are encouraged to check their tickets and visit OLG.ca to claim their prizes. Those who purchased online can access their account on the lottery ticket history page to complete a claim declaration form. If a winner received under $1,000, they will either have their prize automatically added to their OLG cash balance if they purchased online or can claim the prize at a lottery retailer. It's essential for players to remember to check their tickets and claim their prizes to ensure they don't miss out on this life-changing opportunity.",
