Big lottery prize was just won in southern Ontario

A big lottery prize was won in southern Ontario this past weekend.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation told INsauga.com that a ticket purchased in York Region won the guaranteed $1 million prize from the gold ball draw in Lotto 6/49 on Saturday.

No one won the fixed classic jackpot of $5 million and given that the gold ball wasn’t pulled, that means the gold ball jackpot has grown ahead of the next draw.

However, three tickets matched five out of six numbers, plus the bonus, to take home $66,308.60 each in the classic draw, the OLG website indicates.
