Check Your Pockets! Canada's Biggest Unclaimed Lottery Prizes Revealed
Imagine winning a life-changing fortune and never knowing it. Across Canada, millions of dollars in lottery winnings remain sitting in vaults because players missed their one-year claim deadline. According to OLG and other provincial corporations, most unclaimed prizes are small, but several multimillion-dollar "lost" jackpots have made history.
Here is the breakdown of the massive prizes that were never collected:
️ The Hall of "Lost" Millions
Ontario ($70 Million): The largest unclaimed prize in Canadian history. The winning Lotto Max ticket for the June 28, 2022, draw was sold in Scarborough. Despite a year-long search, the winner never came forward, and the money was returned to the prize pool in 2023.
British Columbia ($15 Million): A ticket purchased in Vancouver for the August 13, 2021, draw matched all numbers but expired exactly one year later in 2022.
Alberta ($14.9 Million): Sold in June 2006 outside of Calgary and Edmonton, this remains the largest expired prize for the WCLC.
Atlantic Canada ($1 Million): New Brunswick and PEI both have "lost" million-dollar tickets from 2011 and 2018, respectively.
Current Final Call: 48 Hours Remaining!
If you bought a ticket in Laurentides, Quebec, check your dresser now. A $1 Million prize from the January 4, 2025, draw is set to expire on January 4, 2026. You have less than a week to claim it before it vanishes forever.
