Atlantic Twist Prizes

To win prizes, your Twist numbers must match the winning Lotto Max numbers. The twist to this game is that while you only have seven numbers on your ticket, there are eight winning numbers – the seven main Lotto Max numbers plus the Bonus Ball.

Whereas in Lotto Max you must match the seven main numbers to win the jackpot, in Twist your seven numbers can match any of the eight numbers including the Bonus. This increases your chances of landing the jackpot.

The jackpot is worth $100,000 in every draw, while there are four other prize categories that start at $3 and increase in amount for every extra ball you match. You receive a payout as long as at least three of your Twist numbers appear among the eight Lotto Max numbers. All of the prizes and odds of winning are shown in the table below.

Numbers Matched Prize Odds of Winning
7 out of 8 $100,000 1 in 12,485,550
6 out of 8 $1,000 1 in 84,935
5 out of 8 $100 1 in 2,071
4 out of 8 $5 1 in 124
3 out of 8 $3 1 in 16

The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 14

The Atlantic Lottery Corporation has previously run a special promotion called Twist Triple Days. During this promotion, all Twist prizes were trebled, so anyone matching all seven of their numbers would win $300,000.
