Plenty of lottery players have something to celebrate after last night’s Lotto 6/49 draw.

Not only was there the $22 million Gold Ball prize and the $1 million White Ball prize up for grabs, but there were also 20 guaranteed $10,000 prizes.

Unfortunately, no one won the Gold Ball jackpot, but someone in Delta, BC, matched all of the winning lottery numbers (13040044-01) to win the White Ball prize of $1 million.

The Classic Draw winning numbers were 07, 11, 18, 37, 38, 45 and the bonus number 31.

While the $5 million jackpot went unclaimed, three lottery players matched five out of six winning numbers, including the bonus, winning the second prize. One player from Alberta, one from Ontario, and one from Quebec split the second prize to get $64,340.10 each.

The Classic Draw Extra winning numbers were 4, 40, 63, and 65. There were no exact matches, so the $500,000 windfall goes unclaimed.

Last, but certainly not least, 20 lucky lottery players from across Canada won a guaranteed $10,000 prize each with exact matches of the winning numbers.
