Well over three dozen tickets purchased in Nanaimo alone have won at least half a million dollars.
In addition to the pre-Christmas prize for an Oceanside player, a Qualicum Beach woman, Ann Maybee, won $500,000 in September through the same Extra Prize draw, while a Nanaimo man picked up over $213,000.
BCLC also reported a $500,000 prize went to a ticket sold in Nanoose Bay for an April draw, but was unclaimed.
A $5 million jackpot for the main 6/49 draw on Saturday night was not won, and the jackpot for the Wednesday, Dec. 31 is projected at $14 million in the Gold Ball draw, and $5 million in the classic draw.
