VANCOUVER — Someone in British Columbia has won a $31-million jackpot in the latest Lotto Max draw in the province.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation says in a statement that a ticket sold online matched all seven winning numbers of the draw on Tuesday.

It says the odds of winning the jackpot on a single $5 ticket is 1-in-33-million.

The win comes after a Surrey, B.C., man won a record $80 million prize in May.

At the time, the lottery corporation described it as the biggest jackpot ever awarded to a single person in Canada.
