It might be time to check out last birthday’s lottery ticket present.
Loto-Québec has announced that they’re searching for several unclaimed lottery winners all around the Greater Montreal region. There are two unclaimed millionaire prizes and eight unassigned prizes of $100,000 and more.
One of the million dollar winning tickets was sold in Montreal, with other prizes, including a half-million dollars, was sold in the Longueuil, Lasalle, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, and Terrebonne regions.
It’s pretty much like the real-life version of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, but instead of candy, it’s a full bank account.
Quebec winners always have 12 months to claim their prize, two of the current deadlines are due before the end of 2018.
All unclaimed prizes are redistributed back to players in the form of bonus prizes and specialty draws.
Start flipping those couch cushions over and check your back pockets, there’s a lot of money looking for its rightful wallet.
