$70 Million. That’s how much you could potentially win when you play LOTTO MAX from now on. Let’s take a minute to soak this in. $70 Million. That’s the highest single jackpot in Canadian history. Crazy, right?! Baaahhh the things I would do with that kind of cash — travel, donate, become an angel investor, buy a property on a tropical island… Le sigh, one can dream!
But wait, there’s MORE exciting news beyond the boost in jackpot: you can now play LOTTO MAX every Tuesday in addition to the regular Friday draw! Woot woot. To celebrate the very first Tuesday draw, I joined my good friend Matt Basile and got a sneak peek of the LOTTO MAX “Let’s Taco-bout Tuesdays” taco truck before it opens up to the public for FREE tacos on Tuesday, May 14th.
Now if you know Matt, you know he’s a go-big-or-go-home kinda guy so the two tacos he’s dreamt up are EPIC. The first, is the Ribeye Grill-ionaire which features grilled Canadian ribeye steak with compound garlic, melted gruyere, tomato onion chutney, chives, edible flowers and purple potato kettle crisps…
The second is the vegetarian-friendly ToMAXtillo Cauliflower. This is a roasted tomatillo cauliflower taco with smoked refried beans, pico de gallo and edible flowers…
D.R.E.A.M.Y. Matt’s tacos made me feel like a winner so I’m hoping he passed on some good fortune. I’ll need it when I redeem the $5 OLG Gift Card that those visiting the truck will also walk away with (while supplies last). I’m going to throw in Matt’s lucky number (17) when I play LOTTO MAX next time because THIS, my friends, is the face of a winner…
