WINNIPEG (CBC) - A lottery ticket purchased somewhere in Manitoba is worth $50 million, following Friday night's Lotto Max jackpot draw.

The prize is not quite a record in Canada, but it is close to the $54.3 million awarded in 2005 on a Lotto 6/49 draw. In that jackpot, 17 Alberta oil and gas workers split the money.

Whoever has the ticket for Friday's Lotto Max game will have one year to claim the prize.
