Mid-week wins: Lottery player becomes a millionaire, plus 20 Canadians win prizes

Plenty of Canadian lottery players have a lot to celebrate after Wednesday’s successful Lotto 6/49 draw.

While no one won the $34 million jackpot with the Gold Ball remaining undrawn, there were still some big wins last night.

A lucky lottery player in Alberta is going home with the $1 million White Ball Prize after matching the winning numbers 29358669-01.

As for the Classic Draw, no one matched all six winning numbers (12, 18, 19, 26, 40, 42, and bonus number 35) to win the $5 million jackpot.

However, a lottery player from Fort St. John, BC, matched five out of six numbers including the bonus to win the second prize of $245,957.80.

The winning numbers for the Classic Draw Extra Prize were 9, 18, 53, and 59. Unfortunately, no Canadians matched all four of the numbers to win the $500,000 jackpot. Fifty-seven lottery players did win a modest $1,000 each.

Last, but certainly not least, the Super Draw blessed 20 lottery players with a guaranteed $10,000 each.
