Four Lotto 6/49 tickets sold in Alberta netted some BIG cash over the weekend
It seems luck was in the air this weekend, as four people in Alberta are walking away with some life-changing Lotto 6/49 prizes.
The Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) says four people in Alberta are much richer after winning on the classic draw and the Extra on Saturday night’s Lotto 6/49 draw.
A ticket purchased by someone in Alberta nabbed $98,226.40 after matching five of the six numbers on the classic draw and matching the bonus.
There were three Extra winners, too, with a ticket sold somewhere in Alberta matching all seven digits to net $250,000, while another sold somewhere in the province and a ticket sold in Calgary matching the last six digits netting $100,000.
The Lotto 6/49 classic draw was not won over the weekend, with the next draw on Wednesday, April 16 sitting at a cool $48 million.
The winner or winners have one year to claim their prize and can start their claim by contacting Player Care at 1-800-665-3313.
