Someone finally won the $70 million Lotto Max jackpot

The good news is that someone won the jackpot, and the bad news is that it was not won in Ontario.

After going unclaimed for weeks, the massive $70 million jackpot in Friday’s Lotto Max draw has been won by a lottery player in the Prairies.

The exact location of where the ticket to riches was sold has yet to be revealed.
