With just over three weeks left, a $15-million Lotto Max ticket that was purchased last summer has not been claimed.
The ticket was purchased on August 13, 2021 and will expire at midnight on August 13, 2022.
BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is again encouraging players who purchased a ticket for the August 13, 2021 draw in Vancouver to check their tickets for the winning numbers: 1-14-17-20-28-32-38.
BCLC sent out a reminder through the media on July 6 and again on July 21.

Where were you last August?
“Where were you last August?,” says BC Lottery Corporation.
They suggest that if you were in Vancouver and purchased a lottery ticket, that you may wish to check your beach bags, suitcases, glove boxes or anywhere else for a winning $15-million Lotto Max ticket that will expire at midnight on August 13, 2022.
All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks:
All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize.
The specific retail location where the winning lottery ticket was purchased, and the lottery winner’s name, will be announced after the winner has come forward to claim the prize.
$64 million so far in 2022:
So far in 2022, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $64 million from Lotto Max. Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 pm (PST).

BCLC says that it offers socially responsible gambling entertainment while generating income to benefit all British Columbians (funds are used as provincial government revenues for health, education and other major budget areas).
“Remember, play for fun, not to make money,” says BCLC, although most people play because of course they do want to make some additional money. BCLC offers gambling manage tips as GameSense.com.
