Loto Quebec Seeks Winners Of Unclaimed Prizes, Including Million-Dollar Ones

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Nov, 2019 09:47 PM

MONTREAL - Loto-Quebec is looking for the owners of five winning tickets for prizes of over $100,000 — including two who will forfeit their winnings if they don't come forward in the next few days.

The provincial crown corporation says a $500,000 and a $250,000 prize have yet to be claimed off tickets bought in the Capitale-Nationale and Joliette regions.

The half-a-million-dollar winner expires on November 30, and the quarter-million-dollar ticket on Dec. 1.

In addition, Loto-Quebec says three people in the province have unknowingly become millionaires in recent months without stepping forward to claim their prizes.

Those tickets were purchased in the Laurentians, Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and Gatineau regions, and all expire sometime in 2020.

Winners have 12 months to claim their prizes. Unclaimed jackpots are put back into various lotteries in the form of special draws or bonus jackpots.
