Unclaimed $40M lotto ticket in Ontario set to expire this month
A $40 million Lotto Max ticket purchased in Ontario's Grey County remains unclaimed with an expiration date of October 28, 2026. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation is urging residents and tourists who visited the area to check their tickets.
Why it matters
Significant unclaimed lottery prizes often expire, resulting in large sums of money being returned to the provincial lottery pool rather than benefiting the winner.
Ontario Lottery and Gaming says one lucky person could be the winner of a $40 million Lotto Max jackpot prize, but they have to act fast.
According to the gaming corporation, the winning ticket was purchased somewhere in Ontario’s Grey County region last year.
The winning area includes Owen Sound, Meaford, The Blue Mountains, Flesherton, Markdale, Durham, and Hanover.
The ticket was part of a Lotto Max draw dating back to Oct. 28, 2025 and has yet to be claimed.
The winning numbers for that specific LOTTO MAX draw are 06, 14, 17, 19, 26, 43, 45 with bonus number 27.
