Someone in the Huntsville area has a lottery ticket worth a million dollars, but time is running out to claim it.
The Lotto Max Maxmillions ticket with numbers 3-17-26-29-39-44-48 won in the July 22, 2016 draw. Its prize is $1 million.
Ontario Lottery and Gaming says the ticket was sold to someone in the Huntsville area. They have until July 24 to claim it.
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.
Ticket holders have one year to claim their winnings before the ticket expires.
