A Lotto 6/49 player in Mississauga is $38 million richer after matching the winning numbers in the Gold Ball jackpot draw on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
The next Lotto 6/49 draw is Saturday, Nov. 14, with a Gold Ball prize of $10 million.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation said the winning ticket was bought in Mississauga. In its release, OLG called it "the life-changing $38-million Gold Ball Jackpot from last night's draw." The corporation said it is one of the largest lottery wins in the province this year.
The winner has not been named. Tickets must be validated through OLG before prizes are officially awarded, so the jackpot has not yet been formally claimed.
The same draw produced other prizes across Ontario. A ticket sold in Toronto won the Lotto 6/49 second prize of $211,077.30. A $1-million Encore ticket was sold in the Leeds and Grenville region. The third prize was shared by 55 players across Canada, at $1,611.50 each. No one won the $5-million Lotto 6/49 Classic Draw prize.
OLG's advisory says all gambling involves risk and outcomes are based on chance.
