B.c.s biggest ever jackpot win! $25 million lotto max ticket sold in surrey

– Last nights colossal $50 Million LOTTO MAX jackpot has been won – twice!

The huge jackpot will be split with a ticket sold in Quebec and another sold in Surrey B.C. both managing to match the seven winning numbers drawn 02 27 30 32 35 36 38 (bonus 39).

The odds of nailing the sevennumber combination are one in 28.6 million per play.

In B.C. the $25 Million prize sets a new record as the richest ever jackpot won in the province eclipsing the old mark held by Tsering Luding of Richmond who won a $24.6 Million Lotto Super 7 jackpot on February 11 2005.

So far no one has come forward to BCLCs Richmond office to claim a share of the prize.

There was an additional $10 Million in MAXMILLIONS to be won on last nights draw; however with only one of the $1 Million prizes won the remaining nine MAXMILLIONS are added to the next LOTTO MAX draw making next Fridays jackpot worth an estimated $19 Million.

With a whopping $60 Million in total top prize money to be won last nights LOTTO MAX draw tied the record for the largest in Canadian history. The previous top $50 Million LOTTO MAX jackpot (which also featured 10 MAXMILLIONS) was won in November 2009 by Kirby and Marie Fontaine of Sagkeeng First Nation northeast of Winnipeg Manitoba.

Growing since January 9 2010 the LOTTO MAX jackpot last week reached its cap of $50 Million causing the game to enter MAXMILLIONS mode where players get the chance to win the $50 Million jackpot as well as additional $1 Million MAXMILLIONS prizes with each $5 ticket.
