According to Play Now, someone in Ontario is taking home the $1 million White Ball jackpot after matching the numbers 42, 15, 45, 95, and the bonus number 03.

Unfortunately, lottery players failed to match the winning numbers for the Lotto 6/49 classic draw’s top prize of $5 million, which were 04, 07, 08, 14, 41, 46, and the bonus number 06.

However, four Canadians did match five out of six winning numbers, including the bonus, to split the second prize. One lottery player from Western Canada, two from Ontario and one from Quebec are taking home $45,928.40 each.

Lastly, no one won the $500,000 Classic Draw Extra Prize. But 49 Canadians did match three out of four winning numbers (51, 56, 84, 87) to win a small prize of $1,000.

If you weren’t so lucky this time, you have another chance in Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 draw, with a Gold Ball jackpot of $34 million.
