Feeling lucky – the jackpot for Friday evening’s Lotto Max lottery was a near-record – $50 million dollars.
There are two winning tickets for the draw – one ticket was bought in Quebec, and the other in British Columbia, meaning the two winners will each receive $25 million.
In the spirit of sharing the wealth — when Lotto Max reaches its jackpot cap of 50 (m) million, the draw moves into “Maxmillions mode.”
Marie Fontaine of Pine Falls, Manitoba pocketed a $50 million dollar Lotto Max prize in November.
But the record for the single largest lottery win in Canada was set in October, 2005 when $54.3 million dollars was awarded in a Lotto 6/49 game.
