Two B.C. residents won the Lotto Max jackpot this week

Two millionaires, one week

For the first time ever, the Lotto Max jackpot has been won twice in B.C. in the same week.

After a ticket that was sold in the province's Stikine region matched all seven numbers during Tuesday's Lotto Max draw, a $20 million haul, a lucky person who bought a ticket in Vancouver won a cool $10 million during Friday's draw.

Neither winner has come forward yet to claim their prize.

The largest lottery prize ever won in B.C. came this past summer, when Richmond's Joseph Katalinic took home a $60 million Lotto Max jackpot.

The odds of winning the main jackpot are 1 in 33,294,800 per $5 play.
