One, worth $55 million, comes from Friday’s drawing and the other, worth $70 million, comes from the June 28 drawing.
In addition to these grand prizes, a prize-winning encore ticket from yesterday’s drawing, valued at $100,000, is waiting to be claimed after being sold somewhere in Chatham-Kent.
The next Lotto Max draw will take place on Tuesday.
WHAT HAPPENS IF NO ONE QUALIFIES THE PRIZES?
In an email to CTV News Toronto, OLG Director of External Communications Tony Bitonti said it’s unusual for a valuable winning ticket to go unspoken.
If a ticket holder doesn’t show, Bitonti said unclaimed money will be returned to players through future bonus games or promotions.
He said that while there are a number of reasons why a winning ticket isn’t cashed, it’s usually because it’s been misplaced or forgotten.
“Many tickets are forgotten in kitchen drawers or jacket pockets (especially when the seasons change). For example, you buy your ticket on a particularly cold spring day and put it in a jacket pocket, but then the weather warms up and the jacket goes in the closet and the ticket is forgotten,” he said.
