Ticket Sold In Ontario Claims Record $64 Million Lotto 649 Jackpot

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Oct, 2015 12:27 PM
    TORONTO — If you happened to buy your ticket for last night's Lotto 649 draw at an outlet in Mississauga, Ont., you should really check your numbers — you could be very wealthy.
     
    A single winning ticket for the 64$ million grand prize — the biggest lottery jackpot in Canadian lottery history — was sold in the community just west of Toronto.
     
    There's no word yet wether it belongs to a single person or to a group of people.
     
    A guaranteed prize of $1 million was also offered in last night's draw, and it went to a ticket holder in Quebec.
     
    The previous Canadian lottery record was $63.4-million for a 6-49 draw in April, 2013.
     
    That pot was split among four ticketholders, who each banked nearly $16-million.
     
    As lottery fever gripped Canada ahead of last night's draw convenience stores and lottery kiosks across the country were jammed with customers dreaming of striking it rich.
