The safe bet of Friday's $50 million Lottery MAX jackpot bought their ticket in Langley, say officials with the B.C.
Lottery Corporation, yet they're not saying when or even where it was purchased.

If they continue with a 31 and also 33, get out that stale bottle of champagne that's saved in your cupboard. If any 40 comes up next, or the bonus of 49, call within sick to work once you have recovered from fainting. Heck, simply call in retired.
Of naturally, it's possible the ticket case already knows they've won however are too busy celebrating to step of progress, said Fairclough.
"We had a guy who just stuck (his just the ticket) on the fridge and quit it there for a couple of weeks to show all his close friends," he said. Then there seemed to be the gentleman who just still left it in his jean bank account where he knew it ended up being safe.
Fairclough said he's seen people go on vacation or even take time to talk with a financial adviser before turning into their tickets. He's even seen in instances where a couple guys purchased a ticket at River Rock On line casino, flew to Las Vegas to gamble for the weekend and on returning found out they North Korean won here at home.
"The best I've seen wait was 48 weeks," said Fairclough, adding, "My partner and i wouldn't wait."
