How would you like to win a ton of money and not come into work on Monday? Wouldn’t we all.
There is hope of living the dream, and sometimes all it takes is buying a lottery ticket, especially one that can make you $64 million richer.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. (OLG) says Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 jackpot is the “biggest-ever offered in Canada.”
Prior to this, the largest Lotto 6/49 jackpot was $63,413,885 for the draw on April 13, 2013. The prize money was shared among four tickets.
On top of the $64 million is the guaranteed $1-million prize draw.
And with the stakes so high, lotto players “can really dream big.”
Do you feel lucky? Some Lotto 6/49 statistics to consider:
- Jackpot of more than $30 million has been won 35 times
- Top number sequence chosen by players is 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42
- Numbers frequently drawn for this lotto are 31, 45 and 40
If you want to put your dreams in more than one basket, a reminder that Friday night’s Lotto Max is $43 million.
Remember this video of a group of co-workers freaking out after winning $60 million in the Lotto Max earlier this month? That could be you this weekend.
