Someone has won the huge lottery jackpot in Canada

A big one-time lottery draw is happening on Thursday in Ontario.

Wintario50 is a limited-time game that the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation launched to mark its 50th anniversary.

Wintario was the OLG’s first lottery game.

Wintario50 has 800 guaranteed prizes that total more than $5 million.

The OLG website says that there are 100 guaranteed prizes of $50,000, which is the top prize.

There are also 150 guaranteed prizes of $5,000, 450 of $500, and 100 of $50.

The odds for the raffle-style game are dependent on the number of tickets that are issued.

It costs $5 for one play, or $10 for three.

The tickets can be bought online and at participating retail locations.

The OLG previously said that over the next several months, it will be having a series of 50th-anniversary themed games and contests.
