Someone is $101,000 lucky in Burnaby to win a big jackpot

It appears someone from Burnaby, or who bought a lottery ticket while in the city, will soon realize they recently earned a big payday.

A local winning ticket worth a total of $101,454.10 was revealed from Lotto 6/49's draw on April 27, 2024. The ticket matched at least five of the seven drawn numbers: 03, 06, 18, 26, 36, 42 and 17 (bonus).

It's not known, as of this publication, May 7, if someone has come forward or has claimed the six-figure prize.

The Burnaby winner's total is also half of a bigger jackpot as someone in western Canada either in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba also correctly matched at least five numbers.

The winner has to reach the nearest lottery headquarters for further documentation formalities and for claiming their winning prize money, lottery officials said.
