A lucky lottery player in Toronto may soon lose out on a life-changing prize if they do not come forward to claim their winning ticket. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has announced that a winning ticket worth $1 million, sold in Toronto, is set to expire in just a few short weeks.
According to the OLG, the winning ticket was purchased on June 5, 2020, for the Lotto Max draw. The winning numbers were 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 20, and 30, with a bonus number of 45. The ticket holder has until June 5, 2021, to claim their prize before it becomes invalid.
The OLG is urging all lottery players in Toronto to check their tickets and see if they are the lucky winner. The winning ticket was sold in the Toronto area, but the exact location has not been disclosed. The OLG has also not revealed any information about the ticket holder, as they must come forward and claim their prize in person.
If the winning ticket is not claimed by the deadline, the $1 million prize will be forfeited and added to the unclaimed prize fund. This fund is used to support various charitable causes and initiatives across the province.
This is not the first time a winning lottery ticket has gone unclaimed in Ontario. In 2019, a $1 million Lotto Max ticket sold in the Hamilton area went unclaimed, and in 2018, a $1 million Lotto 6/49 ticket sold in the Ottawa area also went unclaimed.
The OLG is reminding all lottery players to sign their tickets as soon as they purchase them and to check them regularly. They also recommend keeping winning tickets in a safe place until they can be claimed.
If you believe you have the winning ticket, you can contact the OLG Prize Centre at 1-800-387-0098 to make arrangements to claim your prize. The OLG is also reminding players to play responsibly and to always know their limit.
Time is running out for the lucky winner of the $1 million lottery prize in Toronto. Don’t miss out on this life-changing opportunity and check your tickets today.
