The M groups won $540 and 69 free tickets in the February 26 draw for a total value of $885.

The $70 million Lotto Max jackpot for the February 26 draw was won – one winning ticket sold in Ontario. Nine of the 23 Maxmillions were won. Weekly sales of $106.3 million were 156% higher than average and 52% higher than the previous week. Based on draw sales of $64.7 million, there was a 68% chance the jackpot would not be won, a 26% chance of 1 winning ticket and a 6% chance of 2 or more winners. The expected value was above average at 66%. The jackpot and Maxmillions were over funded from sales by $0.4 million, but rather than fund an extra Maxmillions, the money was added to the match 6 plus bonus prize category.
