Last night another 6/49 lottery ticket win has produced another over-night millionaire in BC.
Someone who purchased a ticket in West Vancouver “is in for a life-changing surprise”, says BC Lottery Corp (BCLC) in a news release this morning, announcing the $10.2 million win.
Just yesterday they announced a $5.8 million winner who had purchased her ticket in Prince Rupert.
The winning numbers of last night’s draw were 6, 9, 34, 35, 48 and 49. The odds of winning the 6/49 jackpot are 1 in 13,983,816 (about the same odds as being hit by lightning).
Lotto 6/49:
So far in 2021, BC Lottery players have redeemed over $70 million in winnings from Lotto 6/49. Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays after 7:30 pm (PST). Each draw includes a Guaranteed Prize Draw of $1 million.
Winners have 52 weeks from the draw date to come forward to claim their prize.
Also a big lottery winner in September:
Last month the $70 million Lotto Max jackpot from September 28, 2021 was won by someone in BC.
