The winning numbers were 7, 12, 14, 18, 46, 47, and 49, and the bonus number was 19. Notably, the ticket was purchased online, so the winner could be anywhere in British Columbia.

According to the BC Lottery Corporation, the odds of winning a Lotto Max jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800 per $5 play.

One of the tickets purchased in the Atlantic provinces nearly won Friday’s draw. This ticket had six of the seven numbers plus the bonus. However, it was priced considerably lower at $164,176.50.

There were also 45 tickets that had six of the seven numbers, but no bonuses. They were worth $3,648 each.
