Largest lottery winner in Western Canada claims his Lotto Max jackpot

After going unclaimed for weeks, the largest Lotto Max $70 million jackpot has been won by a lottery player in the Prairies. Dale McEwan, Saskatchewan, is the largest-ever lottery winner in Western Canada. The winning numbers in the draw were 7, 10, 18, 29, 38, 43, 50 and the bonus number was 41.

Dale McEwan won the $70 million Lotto Max jackpot in April. But he didn't even buy the ticket in his home province. Dale, who actually bought his ticket in Dunmore, Alta., claimed the prize after a lengthy verification process.
