Now, the ticket’s owner(s) have 52 weeks to come forward to claim their prize. Once the winner comes forward, BCLC will be able to release more details about exactly where the winning ticket was purchased and hopefully, we will get to hear what they plan to do with the money, too.
BC has been a lotto hot spot lately, and BCLCL points out that it’s the fourth time in less than three months that the province has seen a big jackpot winner.
In March, an Uncle and Nephew duo won $8 million. The following week, a Burnaby couple won $6 million. Then, in April, a Surrey bus driver netted a massive $18.9 million.
