B.C.’s largest ever lottery prize won

RICHMOND – Someone who purchased a Lotto Max ticket in Richmond for Friday night’s draw has millions of reasons – tens of millions– to celebrate this summer.

They just won B.C.’s largest-ever lottery prize.

The single winning Lotto Max ticket matched all seven numbers from across Canada to win the whopping $60-million jackpot on the July 26, 2019 draw.

BCLC will announce the specific retail location in Richmond that sold the $60-million ticket after the winner has come forward to claim the life-changing prize.
