For the second time in a week, a single ticket purchased in British Columbia matched all seven numbers to win a life-changing jackpot.
This marked the first time the Lotto Max jackpot has been won twice in B.C. in the same week.
Last night’s winning ticket worth an incredible $10 million was bought in Vancouver.
Another ticket purchased in British Columbia’s Stikine region for last Tuesday’s Lotto Max draw also matched all seven numbers and is worth $20 million.
BCLC will announce the specific retail locations that sold the two jackpot-winning tickets once the winners have come forward to claim their prizes.
All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize.
The largest lottery prize ever won in B.C. was a $60-million Lotto Max jackpot, won in July 2019.
In May 2019, Canadians who play Lotto Max saw significant changes with the introduction of a brand-new Tuesday draw, allowing jackpots to grow more quickly, and as high as $70 million.
The odds of winning the main Lotto Max jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800 per $5 play and the overall odds to win a prize are 1 in 7 per $5 play.
British Columbians have claimed more than $188 million in Lotto Max prizes so far in 2019.
