The Lotto Max draw took place on Friday, June 14, and the winning numbers were 05, 11, 29, 31, 38, 39, 49, and bonus 41. After they matched all seven winning numbers, the lucky lottery player is now $55 million richer. According to PlayNow, the winning ticket was sold in Ontario.

Another Ontario lottery player will be celebrating this weekend after they matched six of the seven winning numbers and the bonus number, instantly becoming $224,115.20 richer. Twenty-eight lottery players will split the third prize after matching six of the seven winning numbers. Each will receive $8,004.10.

Four Maxmillions prizes were also up for grabs, and one player just became a millionaire after matching the winning numbers 1, 10, 14, 19, 27, 29, and 32. The ticket was sold in Quebec.
