TICKET WORTH $10,000 UNCLAIMED IN THUNDER BAY

SAULT STE. MARIE, ON – OLG is reminding players that there is still an unclaimed ENCORE – LOTTO MAX prize worth $10,000 from the Friday, May 3, 2019 LOTTO MAX draw. The winning numbers were 5 – 6 – 2 – 2 – 9 – 6 – 1 and the winning ticket was sold in Thunder Bay. Players must match the first six of the seven ENCORE numbers in exact order to win the $10,000 prize.

Customers’ ability to claim prizes may have been affected as a result of the temporary closure of the OLG Prize Centre on March 17, 2020. To allow these customers an opportunity to claim prizes, the expiry date for all prize claims for lottery game tickets that would have otherwise expired from March 17, 2020 up to and including September 17, 2020, have been extended by six months (183 days).

OLG wants to continue to provide our customers with an option to present prize claims. Until further notice, we have increased the limit for mail-in prize claims to $49,999.90. If you believe you have this winning ticket, it would apply for the mail-in prize claim process. Information on how to mail in a prize claim can be found on OLG.ca.

The owner(s) of this ticket should fill in the back portion, sign it and contact the OLG Support Centre at 1-800-387-0098.

OLG reminds players that they can check their tickets for winners from home in a number of convenient ways:

  • Check the winning numbers on OLG.ca.
  • Use the OLG Lottery App on your mobile device. Scan the ticket barcode and wait for the message to appear on the screen.
  • Sign up on OLG.ca for winning numbers to be emailed to you.
  • Call our WIN! Line at 416-870-8946 (Toronto area) or toll free at 1-866-891-8946 (outside Toronto area).
