BURNABY — British Columbia has another multimillion-dollar lottery winner about a week after handing out a record-breaking $80 million win.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation says a Lotto Max ticket purchased in Burnaby for Friday’s draw matched all seven winning numbers – 13, 19, 23, 26, 36, 39, and 47 – to win the $40 million jackpot.

The corporation says in a statement that lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize.

The latest jackpot comes after a Surrey man was given his cheque for $80 million earlier this month after winning what the BCLC said was the biggest jackpot ever awarded to a single person in Canada.
