TORONTO – Ontario residents should really check their Lotto 649 tickets this morning.
A single winning ticket was sold in the province for last night’s 64$ million grand prize — the biggest jackpot in Canadian lottery history.
There’s no word yet exactly where in Ontario the ticket was sold, or whether it belongs to just one person or a group of people.
A guaranteed prize of $1 million was also offered in last night’s draw, and it went to a ticket holder in Quebec.
The previous Canadian lottery record was $63.4-million for a 6-49 draw in April, 2013.
That pot was split among four ticketholders, with each banking nearly $16-million.
As lottery fever gripped the country ahead of last night’s draw convenience stores and lottery kiosks from coast to coast to coast were packed with customers dreaming of striking it rich.
Virve Manniste. We can always hope and dream.
