It’s going to be a memorable weekend for two lottery players who just won big in the recent Lotto 6/49 draw, which took place on Saturday, August 12.
No one had the winning numbers 02, 05, 07, 12, 31, 44, and bonus number 29 for the gold ball prize worth $42 million. There was no winner for the classic draw extra either, which is worth $500,000. However, a couple of lottery players will soon be celebrating some big wins.
