Well. it's 12:46 am
MIDDAY
WINNING NUMBERS
998 Encore: 9597985
For Oct 24, 2018
We want Even!!!!
I Wonder How Late The Results Will Be On Friday Nite/Sat.AM?
Lotto Max Is $60 Mil. + 55 Max Millions.
How Long Will It Take To Draw All Of Those?
Actually,I Did Some Checking
HOW WILL THE LOTTO MAX DRAWS BE CONDUCTED?
The Main LOTTO MAX Draws held every Friday will be conducted using traditional lottery ball-drop machines – the same way that LOTTO 6/49 winning numbers are drawn. The MAXMILLIONS Draws for additional prizes of $1 million each will be conducted using a random number generator that is being/has been independently tested and certified by Technical Systems Testing, an internationally recognized and accredited testing facility.
WHY WILL THE MAXMILLIONS DRAWS BE CONDUCTED USING A RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR (RNG) INSTEAD OF USING THE SAME BALL DROP MACHINE METHOD THAT WILL BE USED FOR THE MAIN DRAW?
Given that there could be many additional draws, it is not practical to use the ball-drop method as it would mean conducting a separate process for each additional MAXMILLIONS Draw – which could take several additional hours – and we want to provide players with the winning numbers as quickly as possible.

I Also Came Across This
May I watch the draws in person?
All OLG Regional Lottery Draws are conducted live at our OLG Prize Centre at Yonge and Dundas,
normally in the store front window facing Dundas Street.
The OLG Regional Lottery draws commence at approximately 10:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) each night.
The LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 draws are conducted by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation at a different facility separate from the OLG draws. The LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 draws commence at approximately 11:05pm (Eastern Time). OLG will continue to posts recordings of all draws which are available on our website.
So Why Are The Daily Draw Results Posted Much Later On Those Nights When The 6/49 & Max Drawings Take Place?
If The Lotto 6/49 And LottoMax Are Held In Different Locations?
