Looks like someone around Calgary is going to have a very happy Saturday.
That’s because Lotto Max announced that someone who bought a ticket in Calgary won Friday night’s $70 million jackpot.
The winning ticket came in the 21st drawing since the jackpot began growing in mid-August.
Lotto Max said in a release that this is the second time the $70 million jackpot has come from a ticket sold in Alberta. The first came in April when a Regina resident bought a ticket in Dunmore, Alta., en route to a family ski trip in British Columbia
The winning ticket matched seven out of seven winning numbers – 1, 9,25, 35, 41, 43 and 50. The odds of matching seven out of seven are approximately one in 33 million.
A second ticket sold in Calgary matched six of seven winning numbers and the bonus number 40, winning $274,059.80.
Calgary ticket holders can check their tickets on the Lotto Max website by downloading the Lotto Spot app or by calling 403-275-8101.
