Big Weekend Wins for Canadian Lottery Players!

Over the weekend, a few Canadians struck it big in the lottery, turning ordinary weekends into unforgettable celebrations.

Friday’s Lotto Max excitement drew everyone’s attention as the jackpot had swelled to a whopping $70 million. While no one hit the $70-million top prize (winning numbers: 07, 09, 22, 24, 34, 36, 37, with bonus 19), there were still plenty of big wins. The $289,736.60 second prize went unclaimed too.

But the real action came with the 10 Maxmillions prizes. Two lucky players — one from B.C. (who bought their ticket on PlayNow) and another from Alberta — each won $1 million!

  • B.C. PlayNow ticket numbers: 5, 13, 22, 33, 40, 42, 48

  • Alberta ticket numbers: 7, 24, 27, 38, 40, 42, 49

Unfortunately, the Lotto Max Extra prize of $500,000 went unclaimed.

On Saturday, the Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball prize was at $38 million. The gold ball wasn’t drawn, but a lucky player from Alberta snagged $1 million by matching the 15th white ball. Their winning numbers: 24621935-01.

Meanwhile, the Classic Draw had its own set of winners. While no one matched all six numbers to claim the $5-million top prize (winning numbers: 15, 18, 24, 36, 39, 40, bonus 9), two Ontario players matched five numbers plus the bonus to win $130,617 each.

And it didn’t stop there! One lucky player from Armstrong, B.C. took home the $500,000 Classic Draw Extra prize with numbers 2, 36, 49, and 90.

💡 Weekend Takeaways:

  • Several $1 million winners across B.C. and Alberta
