There were also four Maxmillions prizes up for grabs, but only one lottery player won the $1 million prize. The winning ticket was sold in Ontario.

The huge jackpot win was the second massive win for the province in October. On Thanksgiving weekend, Quebec man Pierre Richer discovered that he had won the $50 million Lotto Max jackpot.

Despite the life-changing win, Richer, who’s the head of shipping at a catering company, said he plans to return to work.

“I can’t leave them alone in the dark,” he said during a video press conference. “Without me there, the shipping department is not feasible.”

The Lotto Max prize has now reset to $13 million, and the next draw will take place on Friday.
