Your life could change forever.
OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
Check your emails and pockets, you procrastinators! A winning Ontario lottery ticket worth over $11 million was sold in the province, and it could literally just be chilling in your jeans.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is advising Lotto 6/49 players in the Prince Edward/Hastings County region to check their tickets because a winning selection for a jackpot prize of $11,036,139 was sold in the area.
The ticket was for the draw on April 30, 2022, and the holder may be unaware that they are now a multi-millionaire.
It was quite the day for Ontario lottery winners, with OLG also confirming that a guaranteed $1 million prize was won in Scarborough.
Lotto 6/49 draws are held every Wednesday and Saturday. Each play costs $3 and tickets are up for grabs until 10:30 p.m. on draw nights.
The jackpot for the popular game starts off at $5 million and continues to grow until it is won.
"OLG is anxiously waiting to have the ticket holder(s) come forward to claim these life changing prizes," an excerpt from the advisory reads.
These latest wins are not surprising. After all, Ontario has hardly been a dead zone for big winners this spring.
A couple from the province who had been playing the lottery for over three decades recently scored a winning ticket for a Maxmillions prize worth $1 million.
