Someone in the Huntsville area has a lottery ticket worth $1 million and they only have five days to cash it in.
The Lotto Max Maxmillions ticket with numbers 3-17-26-29-39-44-48 won in the July 22, 2016 draw. Ontario Lottery and Gaming says the ticket was sold to someone in the Huntsville area.
A spokesperson for OLG says it’s not uncommon for smaller prizes to go unclaimed, but larger ones, especially those in the millions, are quite rare.
According to the OLG, unclaimed tickets account for about $24.5 million in winnings.
Other unclaimed prizes include an Encore Lotto Max ticket worth $100,000 that was sold in the Newmarket area for the Sept. 20, 2016 draw. A ticket sold in Windsor worth $1 million in January of this year is also unclaimed.
The owner of the Huntsville ticket has until July 24 to claim the $1 million prize.
