Two $500,000 lottery tickets bought in the northern capital

A pair of lottery tickets bought in Prince George will put a lot more jingle in people’s jeans.

One ticket each from the Maxmillions and Lotto Max Extra Prize are worth a cool $500,000 each during Friday’s draw.

For the Maxmillions, the winning numbers were 12, 15, 25, 29, 36, 46, and 47. Another ticket purchased in Atlantic Canada also had the same numbers.

The Extra prize numbers were 11, 57, 68 and 96.

Friday’s draw also saw a ticket purchased in Surrey claim the 80-million-dollar Lotto Max jackpot – the first time a BC player has won it since it was increased last September.

The seven winning numbers were 6, 10, 16, 17, 30, 38, and 48.

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