Vancouver Island is the Home of Lotto Millionaires

When it comes to lottery gaming, many individuals find themselves attracted to the diverse portfolio British Columbia Lottery Corporation has in store. Two lotto fans hailing from Vancouver Island recently became lotto millionaires as a result of the generous Lotto 6/49 and BC/49 lottery tickets that ended up being winning ones.

The Crown corporation revealed that there are two new lotto millionaires on a provincial level that have the riveting games to thank. One of those amounts to a cash payout of CA$2 million which could be claimed in the upcoming 52 weeks. It was confirmed that the winning ticket matching all numbers needed was sold in Duncan ahead of the January 9 draw.

BC/49

Whoever is in possession of that winning BC/49 ticket is eligible for a cash payout amounting to some CA$2,000,000. The six numbers drawn on the second Saturday of this year were 16, 31, 32, 33, 44, and 49. They might even have a special significance for the player who had purchased the lottery ticket but we might find out for sure once they claim their prize.

British Columbia Lottery Corporation announced that there is a winner on Vancouver Island but they might not be aware of that. The gaming leader reminded all lottery fans that they should check their pockets, purses, and drawers for any misplaced lottery tickets that might end up bring their ticket to happiness. Losing a winning lottery ticket is one of the most common reasons for missing out on grans payouts.

Whoever is in possession of the winning ticket should immediately take it to the nearest point of sale offering these precious pieces of paper and confirm their win. The validation process is a mandatory step for players that gets them a step closer to claiming their prize. Then the Crown corporation is being contacted with further instructions given to the winner.

Lotto 6/49

Another grand prize that could be bagged in the foreseeable future could once again make its way to Vancouver Island. A lottery gaming fan recently became eligible for the cash payout of CA$1,000,000. This happened with the help of a Lotto 6/49 ticket purchase ahead of Saturday, January 16. This is when the most recent draw of the lottery game took place. The prize itself is a guaranteed one coming with every draw.

The individual in possession of the winning ticket has 12 months to claim their prize and become a millionaire. The numbers drawn on Saturday were 4, 8, 18, 24, 31, 32, as well as the bonus one – 40. A single ticket sold in Ontario became eligible for the Main prize coming with this recent draw, amounting to some CA$8.7 million.

This meant that the ticket matcher the first six numbers drawn on January 16. Matching the five of those numbers, as well as the bonus one also resulted in a grand win for a ticket sold in North Saanich. It amounts to some CA$107,352.20 and projections are that the winner will claim their prize in the foreseeable future.
