Canada's jackpots are lower, though

Eeyup. It's exceedingly rare to see a jackpot here break $50 million, whereas I feel like that happens pretty often in the US. Of course, less of it gets eaten by taxes than US prizes do, which evens the playing field a bit, but you're generally still going to win quite a bit less if you win the lottery in Canada than in the US.

Of course, the notion of comparing lottery jackpots like that is kind of silly. Provided you manage the money quasi-sensibly, pretty much any multi-million lottery win is going to leave you more or less set for life (and if you don't, the magnitude of the win pretty much just dictates how many new boats you have to sell off when buying too many new boats puts you in crippling debt). Comparisons between them are therefore pretty moot.
