Loto-Quebec is on the lookout for three individuals who have won $1 million each, as well as one winner of a 'winner for life' draw. The lottery corporation has issued a public appeal for the winners to come forward and claim their prizes before they expire.
Unclaimed Millions
The three $1 million winning tickets were sold at various locations across Quebec. The holders have not yet stepped forward, and the clock is ticking for them to collect their substantial windfalls. Loto-Quebec urges all lottery players to check their tickets carefully, as the prizes may be sitting unclaimed in wallets or drawers.
Winner for Life
In addition to the million-dollar prizes, a 'winner for life' draw has yet to be claimed. This prize guarantees a steady income for the winner's lifetime, providing long-term financial security. The winning ticket was purchased in the Montreal area, and its owner has not come forward.
How to Claim
Winners can claim their prizes at any Loto-Quebec outlet or by contacting the corporation directly. Valid identification and the original ticket are required. Prizes must be claimed within one year of the draw date, after which they are forfeited and redirected to other lottery initiatives.
Loto-Quebec reminds players to sign their tickets immediately after purchase to ensure ownership. The corporation also encourages checking tickets online or at retail locations to avoid missing out on life-changing sums.
Previous Unclaimed Prizes
This is not the first time Loto-Quebec has had to hunt for winners. In recent years, several large prizes went unclaimed, including a $5 million jackpot that expired in 2023. The corporation now actively promotes ticket checking to reduce such occurrences.
With the deadline approaching, Loto-Quebec hopes the publicity will prompt the winners to come forward. Meanwhile, players are advised to stay vigilant and check their numbers regularly.
