TORONTO — A Lotto Max player somewhere in Yellowknife has 55 million good reasons for checking their ticket this morning.
Last night’s $55 million jackpot was claimed by a single ticket sold in Yellowknife. The Canadian Press had originally reported the ticket was sold in the Prairies.
The runner-up prize of just over $1 million went to a lottery player in British Columbia.
The draw also offered three Maxmillions prizes of $1 million each, but none were won.
