Second Huge Win in Two Months
For the second time in less than two months, a $60-million Lotto Max jackpot has been sold in Richmond Hill, Ontario. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) announced this exciting news on Wednesday. This latest winning ticket follows another jackpot sold in the same city on November 30, which has yet to be claimed.
Rare Occurrence for Richmond Hill
Tony Bitonti, spokesperson for the OLG, remarked that it’s unusual for the same community to experience such consecutive wins. He noted that Ontario, with its large population, sells more Lotto Max tickets than any other province, increasing the odds of winning.
Additional Prizes Awarded
In addition to the $60 million, Tuesday’s draw also awarded two other significant prizes: one worth $1 million in Brampton and another for $100,000 in London. The winning numbers from the recent draw were 1, 2, 5, 6, 16, 30, 45, and 19.
Next Jackpot and How to Claim
The next Lotto Max jackpot is estimated at $16 million, with entries accepted until 10 p.m. on January 20. Players can check their tickets via the OLG website or app, or by calling the OLG’s ‘WIN!’ line.
For those holding winning tickets, the OLG recommends booking an in-person claim appointment at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto. Online claims are encouraged for prizes between $1,000 and $49,999.90, while larger prizes require direct communication with the OLG.
Lotto Max tickets are priced at $5 each, with draws held on Tuesdays and Fridays. Don’t miss your chance to participate in this exciting lottery!
