A whopping $121 million is up for grabs in two Ontario lotteries this weekend.
The Lotto Max draw is $55 million, with a further 30 prizes of $1 million each. The winning numbers will be drawn on Friday.
On Saturday night, the Lotto 6/49 jackpot is $35 million, with an additional $1-million prize.
That lottery’s main prize hasn’t been won since June 17, when the $17.3-million jackpot was won by a ticket holder in Alberta.
Lotto Max’s main prize was last won June 5, when the $50-million jackpot was divided among four ticket holders.
Last year, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, which oversees gambling in the province, awarded more than $1.9 billion in lottery prizes.
