If you play Lotto 6/49 and bought a ticket in the City of Kawartha Lakes for Saturday night’s draw (May 22), check your numbers — you could be a multi-millionaire.
One of two jackpot-winning tickets, each worth $4,437,083.40, was sold in Kawartha Lakes.
If you play online, you’ll also want to check your numbers. The other ticket that shared the $8.8 million jackpot was sold through the OLG website, according to a media release.
In addition to the jackpot-winning tickets, three Encore prize-winning tickets worth $100,000 each were sold in Kitchener, Unionville, and Toronto’s Willowdale area.
The next Lotto 6/49 draw is on Wednesday (May 26) with an estimated $5 million jackpot.
If you bought a Lotto 6/49 ticket, also make sure you check your clothes before you put them in the wash. A woman who claims to have won a $26 million lottery prize in California last year left her ticket in her pants and put them in the laundry, where the ticket was destroyed.
