$50-million lottery ticket bought in Manitoba
Published Saturday November 7th, 2009


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.

I personally think instead of the actual numbers being drawn i think they input a bar code into a computer and it is the computer that causes those numbers to come up. However, I am surprised that the 1 big winner wasn't in quebec, seeing as they win about 65% of the jackpots yet they only hold 24% of the population. ???
