The draw machine now only has three white balls (each one worth $1 million) and one gold ball, which is worth $62 million. As a result, the guaranteed prize winner has a 1 in 4 chance of winning the main prize.
In addition, there’s a chance to win the $5 million Classic Jackpot.
Each Lotto 6/49 play costs $3 and the draw takes place twice a week. The next draw will take place on Wednesday, April 12.
A North Vancouver, BC lottery player recently won big after trying his luck in the lottery after starting a new job.
Software engineer Simon Pleau now has two reasons to celebrate after winning $5 million in the Lotto 6/49 Classic Jackpot in the March 29 draw.
“I bought a lottery ticket and a bottle of champagne to celebrate the new job,” said Pleau. “The draw was for that night, so when I found out I won I told my wife we have something else we need to celebrate.”
Despite having $5 million in his bank account, he says he has no plans to quit his new job.
