Luck was on a lot of Canadian lottery players’ sides in last night’s Lotto 6/49 draw.
Not only was there the $26 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 Alberta matched all the winning lottery numbers (20760509-01) to win the White Ball prize of $1 million.
The Classic Draw winning numbers were 11, 13, 25, 28, 34, 42, and bonus number 44.
While the $5 million jackpot went unclaimed, two lottery players from Ontario matched five out of six winning numbers, including the bonus, winning the second prize.
The Classic Draw Extra winning numbers were 3, 14, 77, and 80. 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.

If the odds weren’t in your favour this time around, make sure to grab a ticket for the Lotto Max draw on Friday, July 19. The jackpot is at a whopping $65 million with an estimated eight Maxmillions.
There’s also the next Lotto 6/49 draw on Saturday, July 20, with $28 million up for grabs.
You could end up like this Ontario finance worker who was having a “horrible day” until she found out she won a huge lottery prize. What a way to end the workweek!
If you do win, don’t assume the machine is broken like this lucky BC winner.
