Saturday night\u2019s Lotto 6\/49 draw produced a new millionaire in Canada, while thousands of other tickets picked up prizes.<\/p>\n

The Oct. 3 draw saw 137,978 winning tickets in the Classic Draw alone, with prizes ranging from smaller payouts to tens of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n

The winning Classic Draw numbers were: 01, 04, 07, 23, 28 and 37<\/p>\n

The Bonus number was 38.<\/p>\n

No ticket matched all six winning numbers, meaning the $5-million Classic jackpot was not won.<\/p>\n

However, four tickets came very close, matching five of the six numbers plus the Bonus number. Each of those tickets is worth $32,678.20.<\/p>\n

The biggest win of the night came in the Gold Ball Draw, where one ticket matched winning number 69247543-01.<\/p>\n

That ticket is worth $1 million.<\/p>\n

The Gold Ball Draw is part of Lotto 6\/49 and guarantees a winner every draw. The prize is either the growing Gold Ball jackpot or a guaranteed $1-million prize, depending on which ball is selected.<\/p>\n
