Time is ticking away and today is the last day someone could become the latest millionaire in British Columbia. The local lottery corporation is seeking the owner of a winning Lotto 6/49 ticket and January 3 is the last day he or she could bag their grand prize after 12 months of waiting. Exactly a year ago the Lotto 6/49 draw turned out being more than lucky for one player, however, things have been silent ever since then.
There are so many people dreaming of winning big with the help of a single lottery ticket purchase. There are individuals religiously participating in every single lottery draw for years and years and some of them never get the chance to make it to the top. In the meantime, there are other ticket purchasers who get the chance to match the digits drawn and never make it to the prize claim offices.
Today is the Deadline for Jackpot Bagging
This curious situation opens room for speculations and interpretation, as more often than not many of them never claim their lottery jackpots. The public never learns their story or what made them wait a certain amount of time. People might be concerned by the magnitude of the given jackpot and the impact such windfall could have on their life.
There is also the possibility that the winning Lotto 6/49 ticket is long lost or under a pile of documents somewhere out of sight. British Columbia Lottery Corporation reminds once again that there are only a number of hours left until the CA$1-million prize will no longer be up for grabs. Players who had purchased tickets around the end of 2017 are encouraged to check, as the winning ticket might be in their homes.
The purchase was made in Victoria’s area at a very special time of the year – around the first days of 2018. For the time being, the exact location where the purchase was made has not been publicly disclosed by the lottery operator. This period is well-known for seeing many individuals making their first steps in the lottery and scratch-off tickets world, as people believe the season of giving will bring them good fortune along with many a gift under the Christmas tree.
Ticket with Special Seven Numbers Printed on It
A potential jackpot claimed around this time would also mean a kickstart of the year and even an extended winter break at an exotic location. In this sense, the winner might have had such plans in mind while purchasing the lottery ticket. It is not too late for them to get in touch with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and claim their prize.
This must happen by 4:30 p.m. PT this Thursday and there are several hours left until then. Over the span of the past decade, about CA$5.2 million in lottery jackpots has remained unclaimed. This amount is reinvested in the community later on, so in a way, this further boosts the province and its projects. The winning ticket purchased in Victoria has the numbers 3-13-20-35-37-39 in addition to the bonus one 14 printed on it. There is still a chance that someone will come forward and bag the generous jackpot in the next few hours.
