Victoria Strikes Lotto Gold Again: Second $5 Million Winning Ticket Sold in Two Months

In another stroke of luck for Greater Victoria, a $5-million winning lottery ticket has been sold in the region for the second time in two months.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation announced that Victoria was the lucky location for the windfall ticket in the Lotto 6/49 draw held on Saturday. The winning ticket successfully matched all six numbers, marking a substantial jackpot. However, as of now, the winner has not come forward to claim the prize.

This recent win follows a similar occurrence in October when Heather Andrews of Sidney secured a $5-million prize. She purchased the winning ticket at the Pharmasave in Sidney and shared the exciting news with her sister, Gwen Leeder of Stittsville, Ont.

The streak of significant lottery wins in Greater Victoria adds to the positive momentum, making it a noteworthy region for lottery luck. The B.C. Lottery Corporation reports that in 2023 alone, lottery players in B.C. have claimed over $105 million in winnings from Lotto 6/49, showcasing a series of fortunate events for players in the province.
