TORONTO, ON – Following a province-wide awareness campaign which generated significant media attention, and an exhaustive examination of almost 2,700 individual claims, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is declaring the $70 million jackpot from the Tuesday, June 28, 2022, LOTTO MAX draw officially unclaimed.

As we reported on June 29th, the physical $70 million winning ticket, which was sold at a lottery retailer in Scarborough, was not validated at an OLG lottery terminal or presented to OLG on or before the deadline of 10:30 pm June 28, 2023. OLG can also confirm the ticket in question was never checked at a self-serve ticket checker or through the OLG App.

Lottery tickets generated by an OLG authorized lottery terminal, such as LOTTO MAX or LOTTO 6/49 expire one year following the draw date on the ticket. This means all winning tickets must be validated prior to the expiry date in order for the prize to be collected.       

Prior to the expiry deadline, almost 2,700 calls and emails from people claiming to have lost the ticket were logged by OLG’s Customer Care Centre.  

OLG is committed to paying the right prize to the rightful owner of a winning ticket—every time. Due to the high volume of lost ticket claims, OLG’s dedicated team of lottery investigators took the time necessary to thoroughly review each and every potential claim. Now that this process is complete, we can report that none of those claims were successful. Thus, the $70 million prize is officially unclaimed.

The $70 million prize money has been returned to the prize pool for future bonus games or promotions of national lottery games, namely, LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49 and DAILY GRAND.

To avoid unclaimed lottery prizes, OLG asks lottery players to:

• Sign their ticket as soon as it purchased at a retail location;
• Keep the ticket in a safe and memorable location until draw time;
• Check the ticket as soon as the draw is complete; or
• Purchase a lottery ticket on OLG.ca and you will be notified by email if your ticket has won a prize.

OLG offers players several easy ways to check lottery tickets by using the OLG App, by using the self-serve ticket checker at lottery retail locations or asking the retailer to check the lottery ticket through the lottery terminal.  

Information about other unclaimed tickets can be found on the OLG.ca Unclaimed Tickets page.

OLG supports safe play and wants to keep the fun in the game. That’s why OLG is proud to be a leader in promoting responsible gambling with our globally recognized PlaySmart program.

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG) is celebrating the 30^th anniversary of the “Winner! Gagnant!” Win Tone (you know the tune) with a fresh new remix from Ontario artists Loud Luxury and Preston Pablo.

The classic Win Tone is played every time someone wins with OLG. With an average of 180 million wins per year over the last decade alone, this little jingle just might be one of the most played songs in Ontario. And for the first time, we’re taking the Win Tone outside the store and on tour across Ontario.

On August 6, international touring dance music duo Loud Luxury (formed in London, Ontario), teased their new remix of the Win Tone that they produced in collaboration with Preston Pablo (from Timmins, Ontario), on the VELD main stage. OLG will be playing it all summer long – and when you hear it, you and your community will know that OLG is Bringing Home the Win across Ontario.

“OLG is ecstatic to collaborate with two JUNO Award winning artists from Ontario – Loud Luxury and Preston Pablo – who not only put a new spin on our much-celebrated tune, but who truly understand what Winner! Gagnant! means to the people of Ontario,” says Maxine Chapman, VP Brand & Marketing Officer at OLG. “For decades, Winner! Gagnant! has been synonymous with winning, and every time it’s played, it means that someone is celebrating, communities are benefitting and together, we are making people’s lives better across the province.”

Quote from Loud Luxury: “We had such a blast collaborating with OLG & Preston Pablo to create the Loud Luxury take on this sound. Growing up in Ontario, it’s impossible not to know the iconic Winner! Gagnant! Win Tone, so we hope our 2023 version brings people the same energy and joy!” 

Quote from Preston Pablo: “As an Ontarian, the OLG Winner! Gagnant! Win Tone is a classic, so I was super happy to be a part of the remix with Loud Luxury. This song gives off that winning energy and I can’t wait for it to be heard!”

OLG is spreading the winning feeling this summer by taking the Winner! Gagnant! Win Tone on tour in communities and at events around Ontario, and giving away prize packs, tickets to the hottest concerts and more. Find a stop near you at BringHometheWin.ca!

Fun fact: One hundred per cent of OLG’s profits help improve the quality of life for all Ontarians. So when you play with OLG, your contributions radiate throughout your community, and across the province.

As always, OLG promotes responsible gambling and is committed to helping players create and maintain smart play habits. Our award-winning PlaySmart program supports all OLG products to help players enjoy our games in a responsible way.
