Two tickets worth $1 million each were sold in Canada following Saturday night\u2019s Lotto 6\/49 draw, including one through the Gold Ball Draw and another through Encore.<\/p>\n

The Lotto 6\/49 draw on Saturday, Oct. 24 saw the $5-million Classic jackpot go unclaimed, but there were still several major prizes.<\/p>\n

The Classic winning numbers were:<\/p>\n

09, 20, 22, 29, 37 and 47<\/p>\n

The Bonus number was 32.<\/p>\n

No ticket matched all six numbers to claim the $5-million Classic jackpot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Four tickets matched five of the six numbers plus the Bonus number, with each ticket worth $53,940.30.<\/p>\n

Overall, there were 125,657 cash-winning tickets in the Classic Draw.<\/p>\n

The Gold Ball Draw produced one of the night\u2019s biggest prizes.<\/p>\n

The winning Gold Ball number was 71278925-01, with one ticket matching the number to claim the $1-million Gold Ball prize.<\/p>\n

There was also a separate $1-million Encore win.<\/p>\n

The winning Encore number was 7526146, and one ticket matched all seven digits to win $1 million.<\/p>\n

Another Encore ticket matched six digits and is worth $100,000.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Encore can be added to a lottery ticket for an additional $1 and offers a top prize of $1 million.<\/p>\n
