The previous game had been around for fifteen years and the lottery commission decided to come up with something even more exciting. The first drawing took place on September 25th of the same year and with all of the rollovers the first multi-million dollar grand prize was finally claimed in November. Proceeds from Lotto Max are distributed in the provinces in which the tickets were purchased. Each province gets to decide where the funds are used and the majority go toward charitable local causes.
