Okay, so you won't believe this. Someone in Ontario just won a whopping $60 million in the Lotto 6/49! Seriously. It happened on Wednesday, May 7th, 2025. This person's life just completely changed. And get this – they bought their ticket online through OLG.ca. Talk about convenience, right? It's proof that those "dream big" posters aren't just empty slogans. And it gets even better – they also snagged two Encore prizes, each worth $100,000! Honestly, who saw that coming?
The Winning Numbers (and a Little Mystery)
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) confirmed the whole thing, sending the lucky winner an email. Imagine that! They're keeping their identity private, which is totally understandable. But here’s the winning information. The main Lotto 6/49 numbers were 01, 04, 08, 13, 16, 26, with a bonus number of 14. The ticket number was 53689493-01. And those lucky Encore numbers? 7419042. So, if you've got those, go grab a coffee – you'll need it.
A Whole Lotta Winners
Now, even if you didn't win the big one, don't feel too bad. The OLG says there were over 439,000 other winners in that draw! Prizes ranged from free tickets to some pretty substantial cash. It just goes to show, you never know what might happen!
More Than Just a Big Win
The Lotto 6/49 happens every Wednesday and Saturday. It costs $3 a ticket, which, let's face it, isn’t a huge gamble for a chance at changing your life. The Gold Ball draw alone guarantees at least $1 million, but it often climbs way higher, like this $60 million prize! And the best part? The next Gold Ball jackpot on Saturday, May 10th, 2025, is already reset to $10 million! The Lotto Max jackpot is a stunning $80 million – someone needs to buy a ticket right now!
