Just a week after a B.C. resident took home the largest Lotto Max prize ever won in Canada, our province has another reason to celebrate.

A Lotto Max ticket purchased in Burnaby for Friday’s draw matched all seven winning numbers to win the $40 million jackpot.

The seven winning numbers were: 13, 19, 23, 26, 36, 39, and 47.

The odds of winning a Lotto Max jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800 per $5 play.

So far in 2025, B.C. lottery players redeemed more than $102 million in winnings from Lotto Max.

The largest lottery prize ever won in B.C. was a $80 million Lotto Max jackpot, claimed by a Surrey man.
