A <strong>C$40m<\/strong> Lotto Max jackpot ticket is about to expire unclaimed, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) says, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cwvg039x08g2o\">BBC<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>The ticket for the <strong>28 October 2025<\/strong> draw was bought at a retailer in <strong>Grey County, Ontario<\/strong>, home to the Blue Mountains and Owen Sound. It&#8217;s a popular tourist spot, so OLG thinks someone may have bought it on a trip and forgotten to check it once they got home. It expires at <strong>midnight Wednesday<\/strong> \u201cunless the rightful ticket holder comes forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201csad part,\u201d OLG told CTV News, is that the ticket was never checked on the OLG app or at a store. The winning numbers: <strong>06, 14, 17, 19, 26, 43, 45<\/strong>, bonus <strong>27<\/strong>. OLG says look in clothing pockets, handbags, backpacks, wallets and glove compartments.<\/p>\n<p>If nobody shows, the lottery keeps the money for future games. It&#8217;s happened before: a <strong>$70m<\/strong> Lotto Max win in Scarborough, Ontario from June 2022 was never claimed, even though 2,700 people called and emailed about it. Atlantic Lottery says about one per cent of prizes go unclaimed, usually much smaller sums.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image: AI-generated editorial illustration by Bugle Blast.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cwvg039x08g2o\">BBC News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bought a year ago in tourist country, never checked, and the clock runs out tonight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bb-canada-lotto-ticket-1028.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugleblast.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
