Don’t worry if that’s not where you are, though. The second prize worth a respectable $207,248.90 was won with a ticket sold in Lambton County.
The guaranteed $1 million winning ticket was sold in the Niagara region, while other Ontario tickets won a $100,000 Encore prize in Ottawa, Simcoe County and Grey County.
If you weren’t lucky this time, or didn’t pick up a ticket, the jackpot for the upcoming Lotto 6/49 draw on December 8 is estimated to be a cool $5 million. Not too bad, eh?
Recently, a 63-year-old lottery winner from Oakville had to ask a store clerk if he was dreaming after winning a $100,000 prize.
Justin Szajnowski from Hamilton, on the other hand, knew exactly how he would spend his $250,000 Instant Merry & Bright winnings.
