Canadian Resident Wins Second Prize in Lotto 6/49 Draw
Lotto 6/49, a popular Canadian lottery game, offers two chances to win multi-million dollar jackpots every Wednesday and Saturday. On April 30, 2025, the game provided an exciting moment for a resident of LaSalle, Sandra Sole-Turner, who won a second prize worth CA$81,676.10.
The winning ticket was purchased at the CNIB kiosk in Walmart, located on Sandwich Street South in Amherstburg. While Sandra did not hit the jackpot, her ticket was a lucky one, securing her a substantial secondary prize.
Lotto 6/49 consists of two main draws: the Classic Draw and the Gold Ball Draw. In the Classic Draw, players select six numbers from 1 to 49, and the jackpot typically starts at CA$5 million. To win the main jackpot, a player must match all six numbers drawn. Secondary prizes are awarded for matching fewer numbers, such as 5 numbers plus the bonus ball, 5 numbers, 4 numbers, and so on, with varying prize amounts and odds.
The Gold Ball Draw, a newer addition to the game, offers an additional jackpot opportunity every draw day. In this draw, one "Gold Ball" is drawn along with a 10-digit number combination, and the jackpot typically starts at CA$1 million. Players holding tickets with the matching 10-digit Gold Ball number win this jackpot, creating an additional large prize separate from the Classic Draw. The Gold Ball Draw guarantees a minimum of CA$1 million, but the jackpot can exceed CA$60 million.
The cost per play for Lotto 6/49 is CA$3, making it an affordable opportunity for Canadians across the country to participate in the game, which is operated nationwide by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation and managed provincially by Crown corporations such as OLG in Ontario.
While Sandra Sole-Turner did not win the main jackpot, her win serves as a reminder that Lotto 6/49 offers numerous opportunities for players to win substantial prizes. Whether it's the Classic Draw's fixed CA$5-million jackpot or the Gold Ball Draw's separate jackpot with varying amounts, Lotto 6/49 presents an exciting chance for Canadians to dream big and potentially change their lives with a single ticket.
