Someone in British Columbia is about to get millions of dollars richer, $30.8 million to be exact.
A ticket was won by matching all seven winning numbers in Friday night’s Lotto Max draw to win the jackpot.
The seven winning numbers were 7, 12, 14, 18, 46, 47 and 49.
According to BCLC, the ticket was purchased on BCLC’s PlayNow.com, which is the province’s only legal, regulated gambling website.
"The odds of winning a Lotto Max jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800 per $5 play," BCLC said.
All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize. The lottery winners’ name(s) will be announced after the winner has come forward to claim their prize.
Lottery players in BC have redeemed more than $64 million in winnings from Lotto Max so far in 2022.
The largest lottery prize ever won in B.C. was a $70 million Lotto Max jackpot, won in September 2021.
BCLC is also still looking for the player that has a winning $15-million Lotto Max ticket for the Aug. 13, 2021 draw that will expire at midnight on Aug. 13, 2022.
