WINNIPEG (CBC) - A Sagkeeng First Nation family in Manitoba is $50 million richer after their ticket came up the winner in Friday evening's Lotto Max draw.

CBC News has confirmed from relatives that Kirby Fontaine and his family are the lucky winners. Media reports identified his wife as Marie Fontaine.


Robert Mulholland, Fontaine's uncle, told CBC News his nephew and his family have gone into hiding.


Reports said the family left the First Nation community in a limousine bound for Winnipeg, about 150 kilometres south, on Friday or early Saturday.


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.


There has been no official confirmation about the win from the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.

fuck them all

 

[Mr. Lucky]

They happen to be good friends of mine and are giving me $1 million

Shit, you mean that I don't have to check my ticket now? I bought 5 lines.

(Did anybody win the previous week to the $50 Million Jackpot? I can't find all my lottery tickets for that week).

I did not know that you can buy lines.......just grams and balls

Well, I'm not sure if any of the maxmillion, 10X1000000 were won. So, I would assume that next week starts at 10 million.

Do you think that it may be a case of get the lottery to 50 million and there will often be winners? That's really the same as Super 7 was.

To the winners, I hope they use in wisely and do good things with it.
