The above chart compares the 3 BIG Lotteries. Many Canadians complain of the $5 Lotto Max ticket price, but comparing it to a $5 wager on Powerball® or Mega Millions in the USA, you are getting a way better deal here in Canada.
Lotteries in Canada are TAX FREE, so a $50 Million Lotto Max win would be equal to approximately a $160 Million jackpot win for an American living in the USA, because of the cash options value and taxes. Exchange rate in currency was not used in this comparison. The 85,900,584 possible combinations for Lotto MAX is less than half of the USA lotteries. State taxes on lottery wins vary from state to state.
So Canadians be proud of your lotteries!
