MONTRÉAL, March 26, 2023 /CNW/ - You could win $54 million at the next Lotto 6/49 draw, to take place on Wednesday, March 29!

The draw machine now only contains seven white balls, each worth $1 million, and one gold ball, worth $54 million. The guaranteed prize winner therefore has a 1 in 8 shot at winning $54 million!

"Since we launched the new Lotto 6/49 last fall, it's the first time that the Gold Ball jackpot reaches 54 million dollars," said Isabelle Jean, Loto-Québec's Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of Lottery Games. "In fact, we haven't seen such a big Lotto 6/49 jackpot since 2015!"

As is the case at every Lotto 6/49 draw, the $5 million Classic Jackpot will also be up for grabs.

Two multi-million-dollar jackpots 

• The Classic Draw is the same draw you've known for over 40 years, for which six numbers from 1 to 49 are drawn. A $5-million jackpot and several runner-up prizes are up for grabs at each draw.
• Each Gold Ball Draw has a guaranteed winner thanks to a unique number on each ticket. The winner is guaranteed to take home either a $1 million prize or a prize of up to $68 million!
