Mid-week wins: Canadian lottery player wakes up a multimillionaire
A lottery player in Canada is heading into the weekend as a new multimillionaire.
Wednesday night’s Lotto 6/49 draw was a success for several Canadians.
The Gold Ball was not drawn, so unfortunately, no one won the $46 million lottery jackpot.
However, the 19th White Ball was picked out, landing an Ontario player $1 million. The winning numbers were 48752053-02.
As for the Classic Draw, a lucky lottery player in New Brunswick matched all six winning numbers (04, 06, 13, 14, 34, 36, and bonus 40). They will be taking home the $5 million top prize.
Someone in Langley, BC, matched five of the winning numbers, including the bonus to win the second prize of $235,689.00.
And victories don’t stop there.
The winning numbers for the Classic Draw Extra prize were 62, 68, 85, and 97. A lottery player in Surrey, BC, matched all four to win the $500,000 jackpot.
If you didn’t beat the odds this time around, you’ll have another chance on Saturday, August 24. That Lotto 6/49 draw will have a $48 million Gold Ball jackpot up for grabs.
Make sure you also check your lottery ticket from Tuesday night’s Lotto Max draw. Someone in Canada finally won the massive $70 million jackpot.
