I don't think anyone has won the Lotto Max main prize since March 12, 2010:

At that time, the jackpot was only 10,000,000.
What people fail to appreciate is the extremely long odds of winning the big prize. The game is set up to carry over on a regular basis. No one winning the big prize is probably more common than someone claiming it.
Those lottery games with better odds also carry smaller prizes. Payday only pays out $675,000 or $1,000 per week for life (but for $2 per play). I'm sure someone could crunch the numbers and figure out your best bang for the lottery buck bearing in mind no play is probably the best play.
