The BC Lottery Corporation says someone who bought a Lotto Max ticket in Burnaby is 70-million dollars richer today.
The ticket was the only winner in last night's draw, and the payoff is so big it even eclipses the odds against winning, which were more than 33-million to one.
The 70-million dollar Lotto Max haul is the largest lottery prize ever won in BC.
A release from the lottery corporation says the name of the winner and the location of the lucky purchase will be announced once the ticket holder comes forward.
