The Lotto 6/49 jackpot winner is the third in five weeks from the Lower Mainland. A Burnaby couple picked up a $6 million prize on March 16 and an uncle and nephew split an $8 million win on March 9.
Along with the multi-million dollar jackpot, a Penticton-area ticket matched the $1 million draw and a ticket in Langley matched five of the six numbers, winning $58,000.
