If you purchased a lottery ticket in Scarborough last June, you could be $70 million richer and not yet know it.
An OLG spokesperson says a LOTTO MAX jackpot draw from June 28, 2022, has gone unclaimed to date, and will expire exactly one year from that date.
OLG says the $70 million winning ticket was purchased at an authorized lottery retailer in Scarborough.
“OLG has very detailed information about this winning ticket. However, as the ticket was purchased at a lottery retailer, we don’t know the identity of the person or group that purchased [it],” the spokesperson said in a news release.

So far, the largest unclaimed jackpot on record is $15 million, and that ticket was sold in British Columbia.
A review process will help determine who the winner is if they come forward, OLG said.
They’re urging anyone that may have purchased a LOTTO MAX ticket in Scarborough to check clothing pockets and personal accessories, including handbags, backpacks, wallets and computer bags.
If the aforementioned LOTTO MAX ticket expires, OLG said the $70 million prize would be returned to players through future bonus games or promotions.
If you believe you purchased this winning lottery ticket, contact OLG at 1-800-387-0098.
Information about this ticket and other unclaimed tickets can be found on the OLG website.
