• Four-number plays: Players can buy tickets with four selections of seven numbers (instead of the previous three selections per play) for a higher-priced but more numerous prize-earning setup.[2][4]
• Odds improvements: Overall odds of winning a prize have improved with the revamped structure (e.g., from roughly 1 in 7 to about 1 in 5.8 for winning any prize in some regions).[4][2]

What Lotto Max Extra refers to

• Extra (or MaxPlus) prizes: In addition to the standard Lotto Max prizes, there are extra CAD 100,000 prizes in each draw, expanding as the jackpot grows. This means more frequent smaller-win opportunities alongside the big top prize.[8][2][4]
