$50-million lottery ticket bought in Manitoba

November, 7, 2009 - 05:03 am THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - There is one winning ticket for the $50-million jackpot prize in Friday's Lotto Max draw - and it was sold somewhere in Manitoba.

The ticket holder has one year to come forward to claim their prize, which is just $4.3-million shy of the biggest lottery prize ever awarded in Canada. That $54.3-million jackpot was won in 2005 by 17 oil and gas workers in Camrose, Alberta in a Lotto 6-49 draw.

Each share was worth $3.2-million.
