Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is still looking for Canada’s next lottery millionaire who is eligible for a grand windfall. Lotto 6/49 is the gaming offering that could soon change the life of this ticketholder, granting them some CA$11.4 million. The Crown corporation issued information that the lucky ticket was sold in the Brampton region ahead of the March 7 draw.
The past couple of days have been a rather special time for the lottery enthusiasts of Ontario, as there is an unknown winner that is yet to make their way to their prize. Whoever is in possession of the winning ticket has a total of 52 weeks to claim their prize and make their dreams come true. Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is looking forward to it.
Winner Hails from Brampton
March 7 brought the regular Lotto 6/49 draw coming with a Main prize amounting to CA$11.4 million. All eyes were set on the prize, as more individuals have purchased tickets just before the regular weekly draw. The larger this Main prize becomes, the more individuals make their way to a retail location for ticket purchase. Last Saturday was also special in this way.
The numbers drawn on March 7 were 05, 08, 13, 27, 34, 46, as well as the bonus number 39. The winning ticket sold in Brampton has these digits printed on itself and all players are encouraged to take action. They should check their pockets, bags, and drawers for any misplaced lottery tickets that might be their ticket for a hassle-free future. About 52 weeks are left for the winner to make a move.
Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has CA$11,436,313.10 waiting for their winner to claim them and take a photo with the coveted cheque with their name. This would happen at the special ceremony hosted by the Crown corporation. There are many reasons why a winner might hesitate to bag a substantial lottery prize.
52 Weeks Left for Prize Bagging
One of them might be the emotional and mental preparation one has to do before collecting the windfall. Many players find the event unbelievable and need some time for it to sink in. Others opt for a more practical approach and quickly learn how to best manage such a windfall ahead of eventually claiming it. Whatever the case might be, action should be taken soon.
Ontario saw more winners after this draw, as there were three ENCORE prizes making linked to tickets sold there. Each of them amounted to CA$100,000 and players that have become eligible for them also have 12 months to claim them and use them to their heart’s content. Two players live in the Toronto area, whereas the third individual had purchased their ticket in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry area.
March 7 was also special because a player hailing from British Columbia became eligible for the guaranteed prize amounting to CA$1 million. Along with the Main prize, players of Ontario and Quebec were also able to become eligible for the runner-up prize for matching five of the six drawn numbers. This made each of the ticketholders eligible for a payout of CA$78,293. March 11 is about to bring the next regular draw with a Main prize amounting to approximately CA$5 million.
