Sure every once in a while you hear a story about someone winning a staggering amount of money and their life is ruined.
In 2022, we’ll take our chances.
It seems there’s only one sure way to win a bidding war for a grossly overpriced house, buy a few bags of groceries and fill a tank of gas without selling an organ or seeking out a loan shark — get stinking, filthy rich.
You’ll have that chance on Friday, when a Lotto Max jackpot of $70 million is up for grabs, including 13 $1-million MAXMILLIONS.

If you can’t just imagine a life fending off pathetic pleas from cash-strapped, murderously jealous relatives, don’t worry too much. Your odds of winning the main jackpot, according to the OLG, are 1 in 33,294,800.
To put that in perspective, your odds of getting struck by lightning are estimated to be around 1 in 500,000.
As Jim Carrey once eloquently remarked in Dumb and Dumber, “So you’re telling me there’s a chance.”
