Canadian Lotto Bonanza: $5 Million Prize Claimed in Western Canada

This weekend, a lucky lottery enthusiast from Western Canada secured a whopping $5 million in the Lotto 6/49 draw. The winning numbers were 11, 17, 21, 27, 41, and 44, with a bonus number of 07. This significant win follows the latest draw held on Saturday, April 13.

While the top Gold Ball prize of $30 million remains unclaimed, increasing anticipation for the next draw on Wednesday, April 17, another fortunate player from Ontario matched the White Ball number 41232774-01 to win $1 million.

In addition to these substantial winnings, six Canadians have reason to celebrate after sharing the second prize of the Lotto 6/49 Classic. They matched five of the six numbers and the bonus, splitting $186,495.60, each receiving $31,082.60. These tickets were purchased from Richmond, BC, to Quebec.

Furthermore, another BC resident in Parksville-Qualicum scooped the Classic Draw Extra prize of $500,000 by matching the numbers 26, 32, 36, and 59.

Despite these exciting wins, the Encore prize of $1 million remains up for grabs. This adds to the growing jackpot for the Gold Ball, now at $32 million. The forthcoming draw promises to continue the streak of life-changing opportunities for players across Canada.
