Winning Lotto 6/49 ticket worth $5 million sold in Vancouver

A winning Lotto 6/49 lottery ticket worth $5 million was sold in Vancouver that matched all six numbers. 

The winning numbers were: 4, 18, 26, 32, 41, and 42. 

This is the fifth jackpot in 2022 to go to someone whopurchased their ticket in B.C., according to BCLC.

Lotto 6/49 led to the gradual phase-out of that type of lottery game in Canada. Winning numbers are drawn by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC) every Wednesday and Saturday, executed with a random number generator.

Overall odds of winning a prize are about 1 in 6.6, though the great majority of prizes consist of a free ticket for the next draw.
