A single ticket has won the $50 million Lotto Max jackpot in Canada, with the winning ticket sold in the Atlantic provinces. The draw took place on Friday, November 6, and the winning numbers were 10, 23, 32, 43, 46, 48 and 51, with bonus number 30.
The win was confirmed by the Western Canada Lottery Corporation, whose prize details list the winning ticket as sold in the Atlantic provinces. The winner has not yet been named publicly, and it is not clear whether the prize has been claimed.
A $50 million Friday
Lotto Max is Canada’s biggest lottery game, with jackpots that can reach $80 million. The $50 million prize is one of the largest of the year, and the win ends a rollover run that had pushed the jackpot to its Friday level.
The draw on Tuesday, November 10, produced no jackpot winner, with the numbers 3, 11, 31, 37, 44, 47 and 50, plus bonus 17. The jackpot for the next draw has reset, and players across Canada are already buying tickets for the next chance.
The Atlantic winner
Atlantic Canada has produced several big lottery winners in recent years, and this one is among the largest. The winner will need to claim the prize through the Atlantic Lottery Corporation, and will have the choice of taking the full $50 million as a lump sum — Lotto Max jackpots are paid in full, tax-free, in Canada.
For the holder of that one ticket, bought somewhere in the Atlantic provinces, the Friday night draw changed everything. For everyone else, the next Lotto Max draw is already on the horizon.
