Mid-week winner: There's a new millionaire in Canada after huge lottery win
Someone in Canada just became a millionaire after a huge lottery win.
The Lotto 6/49 classic and gold ball draw took place on Wednesday, October 11.
While no one matched the numbers for the $16 million gold ball jackpot, there were still some huge lottery wins last night.

According to Play Now, one person from Ontario is taking home the white ball lottery prize worth $1 million after matching the numbers 55, 21, 46, 47 and a bonus number 01.
Unfortunately, Canadians failed to match the winning numbers for the Lotto 6/49 classic draw’s top prize of $5 million.
However, a lottery player from Ontario did match five out of six winning numbers, including the bonus number to win the second prize of $191,385.50.
The classic draw extra lottery winning numbers were 20, 25, 87 and 97. No one won the top prize of $500,000 for that draw.
The next Lotto 6/49 draw is on Saturday, October 14, with a gold ball jackpot of $18 million.
If you didn’t beat the odds for Wednesday night’s draws, it’s worth checking to see if you’re a lucky lottery winner from Tuesday’s Lotto Max draw.
You could be a repeat winner, like this Ontario resident who snagged another huge prize three years after winning $100,000.
If you forget to check your lottery ticket, your celebration could be delayed to a year later (which isn’t bad either), like this Canadian woman who found a winning lotto ticket in her wallet a month before it expired.
Either way, your celebration could be as wholesome as this mom who immediately called her daughter after finding out she won.
