A Lotto Max ticket purchased in Calgary won more than $ 700,000

The giant jackpot has become even bigger.

There were no winners in Friday’s LOTTO MAX jackpot, which offered a grand prize of $ 70 million plus prizes of $ 43 million, but a few tickets purchased in Calgary will bring a smile to its owner’s faces.

According to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC), a $ 722,006.40 ticket was purchased in Calgary for the June 3 draw.

It matched six of the seven numbers, plus the bonus number of 42, according to the lottery’s website.

A ticket to Quebec also did the same, which means he won the same amount of money.

Meanwhile, a MAX MILLION award was won in Calgary, according to WCLC.

There are no details on who won the prize or where it was purchased, and the winner has up to a year to claim it, according to WCLC rules.

133 MILLION PRIZES

The corporation says there were about $ 133 million in prize money for the draw on Friday, and the grand prize of $ 70 million corresponds to the highest in the region.

The $ 70 million jackpot coincides with the largest jackpot ever awarded in our region (which includes the three prairie provinces and the north), which happened just a few months ago when a Regina winner won a $ 70 million jackpot from a ticket took in Dunmore, Alberta, “the WCLC said in a statement.

Although there are no details on how many tickets were sold, there were 1,457,733 free games won in the June 3 draw.
