A British Columbian woke up this morning $30.8 million dollars richer.

One lucky someone matched all seven winning numbers in Friday night’s draw– which were 7, 12, 14, 18, 46, 47, and 49.

The ticket was purchased online.

The jackpot for the next draw on July 12 will be an estimated $10 million.

Meantime, the BC Lottery Corporation is still looking for the person who bought a 15 million dollar winning ticket last August.

The ticket was bought in Vancouver, and if it isn’t claimed by midnight on August 13, it will expire.
