According to BCLC, prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date to claim their money.

This particular winner will lose the chance to become a millionaire at midnight on March 18, 2021. 

The purchase location for the winning ticket and the winner's name cannot be announced until after they have claimed their prize. 

So, that leaves it up to you.

Either you need to look through the crumpled up papers in your wallet or hop online to determine if you've won big. 

Whether you buy a house or ball out on all the luxuries of life, a million dollars sure wouldn't hurt the bank account.
