Mid-week wins: Lottery player becomes a millionaire, plus 20 Canadians win prizes

As for the Classic Draw, no one matched all six winning numbers (12, 18, 19, 26, 40, 42, and bonus number 35) to win the $5 million jackpot.
However, a lottery player from Fort St. John, BC, matched five out of six numbers including the bonus to win the second prize of $245,957.80.
The winning numbers for the Classic Draw Extra Prize were 9, 18, 53, and 59. Unfortunately, no Canadians matched all four of the numbers to win the $500,000 jackpot. Fifty-seven lottery players did win a modest $1,000 each.
Last, but certainly not least, the Super Draw blessed 20 lottery players with a guaranteed $10,000 each.
