A big lottery jackpot was won in Wednesday night’s Lotto 6/49 draw in Canada.

One ticket matched all six numbers in the classic draw to take home a $5 million prize.

The ticket was sold somewhere in Quebec, according to Loto-Québec.

Three tickets also got five out of six numbers plus the bonus to win $56,409.30.

Two of those were sold in Quebec and one in British Columbia, Loto-Québec says.

Fifty-six tickets matched five out of six numbers to win $1,268.90.

Meanwhile, for the gold ball draw, a white ball was pulled. That means a $1 million prize was handed out, as opposed to the gold ball jackpot.

The ticket that won that prize was sold somewhere in Ontario.

Here’s a look at the winning numbers for the Wednesday, Feb. 18 Lotto 6/49 draw, according to the Loto-Québec website:

Classic draw: 05 06 16 17 33 44 Bonus 29

Gold ball draw ($1 million prize): 44521207-01

Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 draw will feature the classic jackpot at its fixed $5 million, as well as a $34 million gold ball jackpot, or the guaranteed $1 million prize.
