The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) says someone who bought a LOTTO 6/49 ticket last year in Etobicoke has not yet claimed their $43,000 prize.
An OLG spokesperson said a winning $43,651.50 ticket purchased on September 17, 2022, is still up for grabs, and there are only two more weeks for it to be claimed.
The winning selection was 3, 9, 15, 21, 33, 49 with the Bonus 13. OLG players have one year from the draw date to claim their prize.
The OLG said the owner(s) of this winning ticket should fill in the back portion, sign it and contact OLG Customer Care at 1-800-387-0098.

There are a number of ways to check tickets.
They include looking at the winning numbers on OLG.ca, using the OLG App on a mobile device, scanning the ticket barcode and waiting for the message to appear on the screen, and signing up on OLG.ca for winning numbers to be emailed to you.
Players can also call an OLG line at 416-870-8946 in Toronto or toll-free at 1-866-891-8946 (outside Toronto).
In June, a $70 million OLG LOTTO MAX ticket went unclaimed in Scarborough after a June 28, 2023, deadline passed without anyone rightfully coming forward with the correct numbers.
The $70 million winning ticket was purchased at an authorized lottery retailer in Scarborough. The winning numbers for that Lotto Max draw are 8, 19, 22, 41, 42, 46, 47 and Bonus 10.
