The lucky winning numbers were 35679933-01 (exact match only).

There were also two Extra winners, with a ticket purchased in Calgary winning $100,000 on Extra, and another purchased somewhere in the province outside of Calgary and Edmonton. Both tickets matched six of the seven Extra digits.

The winning Extra number for the Aug. 9 draw was 6048991.
