Multiple Canadians are about to start their weekends off strong with major lottery wins.
After a successful Lotto 6/49 draw on Wednesday night, some lottery players have become millionaires and multimillionaires.
Unfortunately, the Gold Ball was not drawn, so no one won the $42 million jackpot. However, a White Ball was drawn, securing a million-dollar win for an Ontario player who matched the winning numbers 62096295-01.
The winning numbers for the Classic Draw prize were 10, 11, 29, 30, 36, 48, and bonus 18. Another Ontario lottery player struck gold, matching six of the numbers. They will be taking home the top prize of $5 million.
The luck didn’t stop there for Ontarians, as another player won the second Classic Draw prize of $249,655.70 after matching five out of six of the winning numbers, including the bonus.
The winning numbers for the Classic Draw Extra prize were 21, 25, 38, and 73. Unfortunately, the luck stopped there with no one nabbing the $500,000 jackpot. However, 49 Canadians did win a modest $1,000 for matching three out of the four numbers.

While there was no jackpot winner, loads of Canadians won Maxmillions prizes.
The next Lotto 6/49 draw is on Saturday, August 17. With the Gold Ball still in the pot, the jackpot increases to $44 million.
