Loto-Québec hunting 9 lottery winners who haven't claimed prizes
Two jackpots worth $2 million each, plus $1 million prizes and smaller windfalls — all unclaimed. One deadline expires in less than three weeks.
If you bought a lottery ticket in Quebec and haven't checked it, now's the time. Loto-Québec is searching for nine people who have won prizes of $100,000 or more and haven't come forward. The unclaimed winnings include two $2 million jackpots, three $1 million prizes, and several others ranging from $100,000 to $333,333. One winner is even owed $25,000 per year for life.
What many players don't realize: lottery prizes come with a claim deadline. Once that window closes, unclaimed winnings don't roll over. The money gets redistributed as bonus prizes, and the winner walks away with nothing.
Two of these prizes are urgent. A Spécial de l'été winner from Chaudière-Appalaches has roughly a week left to claim $100,000 (deadline June 9, 2026). A Grande Vie winner from Outaouais has less than three weeks to claim $25,000 annually for life (deadline July 14, 2026).
As of May 25, the nine unclaimed prizes still on the table include a Banco jackpot sold in the Montreal region (winning numbers 01 02 05 09 10 14 16 19 22 23 26 27 37 40 42 51 60 68 69 70, deadline April 18, 2027) and a Québec Max $1 million ticket sold in Montreal (deadline April 3, 2027).
To check if your ticket is a winner, visit Loto-Québec's prize claim status page at loteries.lotoquebec.com. Most claim deadlines run one year from draw date — so if you bought a ticket last June, the window is closing soon.
