Two tickets worth $1 million each were sold in Canada following Saturday night’s Lotto 6/49 draw, including one through the Gold Ball Draw and another through Encore.
The Lotto 6/49 draw on Saturday, Oct. 24 saw the $5-million Classic jackpot go unclaimed, but there were still several major prizes.
The Classic winning numbers were:
09, 20, 22, 29, 37 and 47
The Bonus number was 32.
No ticket matched all six numbers to claim the $5-million Classic jackpot.
Four tickets matched five of the six numbers plus the Bonus number, with each ticket worth $53,940.30.
Overall, there were 125,657 cash-winning tickets in the Classic Draw.
The Gold Ball Draw produced one of the night’s biggest prizes.
The winning Gold Ball number was 71278925-01, with one ticket matching the number to claim the $1-million Gold Ball prize.
There was also a separate $1-million Encore win.
The winning Encore number was 7526146, and one ticket matched all seven digits to win $1 million.
Another Encore ticket matched six digits and is worth $100,000.
That means the Oct. 24 draw produced two separate $1-million prizes, one through the Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball Draw and another through Encore.
Lotto 6/49 draws are held every Wednesday and Saturday. The game includes the Classic Draw, which offers a fixed $5-million jackpot, and the Gold Ball Draw, where players have a chance at either the growing Gold Ball jackpot or a guaranteed $1-million prize.
Encore can be added to a lottery ticket for an additional $1 and offers a top prize of $1 million.
