A Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball ticket purchased in North Bay has changed someone’s life forever, winning a $34 million prize in the June 21 draw. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) shared this news over the weekend and awaits the winner to claim their prize.
OLG Celebrates Surge in Winners After $34M Jackpot and Over 289,000 Prizes Across Ontario
This win marks the second consecutive Gold Ball jackpot in Ontario. Last month, on May 7, another player won an even larger $60 million, although that winner has yet to come forward. OLG staff are excited about this recent win and look forward to meeting the new multimillionaire.
The $34 million winner’s identity is still unknown, but OLG confirmed the fortunate ticket was bought in North Bay. This Northern Ontario city can now claim one of the province’s largest recent lottery wins.
The June 21 draw didn’t only create one big winner. OLG reports that 289,090 prizes were awarded across Ontario in the same Lotto 6/49 event. Most of these were smaller wins but contributed to the excitement surrounding the draw.
The Lotto 6/49 game offers players two chances to win big each week, with draws on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Classic Draw consistently offers a $5 million prize, while the Gold Ball Draw guarantees $1 million or a jackpot starting at $10 million that can exceed $60 million. This variety of prize options has kept the game as one of Canada’s favorite lotteries.
OLG Urges North Bay Ticket Holders to Check Numbers as $34M Prize Remains Unclaimed
OLG officials are urging everyone who purchased a ticket near North Bay to double-check their numbers. They reminded participants that winners have up to a year to claim their prize, but the organization is eager to celebrate this significant win with the fortunate person or group as soon as possible.
OLG continues to promote winning experiences while also emphasizing responsible gambling through its PlaySmart program. This initiative provides tools and resources to help players stay informed and maintain control over their gaming habits.
As the search continues for Ontario’s latest multimillionaire, one key point remains: someone in North Bay holds a ticket worth $34 million, and the entire province is eager to see who will step up to claim it.
