The Vancouver Canucks did not come away as winners Tuesday night, but one lucky fan from West Ā鶹¾«Ń” did.

The identity of the winner has yet to be released.

The team announced during the third period against the Los Angeles Kings that 50/50 the jackpot totalled $1,413,630, with a take-home prize of $706,815.

This broke a previous record of $1,014,555 set during former Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedinā€™s final NHL game on April 5.

ā€œExtraordinaryā€ online ticket sales delayed the email system, but all technical problems have been resolved.

The funds will help support the Canucks Autism Network, Canuck Place Childrenā€™s Hospice and the BC Childrenā€™s Hospital Foundation.
