It appears Langley was the place to earn a generous payday over the final days of March.
A trio of lottery tickets bought in the Metro Vancouver community have garnered $10,000 each from the last three Lotto 6/49 jackpots.
This includes the most recent national draw on Saturday, March 29. Someone correctly picked one of the 25 guaranteed additional prize numbers (see image 2 in gallery): 02708930-01.
The other two were bought for the March 22 (01637172-01, see image 3 in gallery) and March 26 draws (02105944-04, see image 4 in gallery) — also from the guaranteed prize collection.
It's not yet known if one or all of the winners have claimed the cash.
"All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize," the BC Lottery Corporation said in a statement.
"The specific retail location where the winning lottery ticket was purchased, and the lottery winner’s name, will be announced after the winner has come forward to claim the prize."
Fourth $10K ticket bought online
Meanwhile, a fourth $10,000-winning ticket was purchased digitally for last Wednesday's Lotto 6/49 draw.
BCLC lists online winners as "PlayNow.com" when an eligible player in B.C. plays a national contest virtually (see image 4 in gallery).
In that same draw, someone that bought a ticket in Victoria took home the $1-million White Ball prize. No one claimed the $36-million Gold Ball jackpot.
Someone out of Richmond is also $500,000 richer after winning the Classic Extra Prize draw from Saturday.
Lotto 6/49 draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday night.
Millionaire's ticket expires in May
BCLC is also encouraging Metro Vancouver lottery players to double-check any Lotto Max tickets possibly held since last spring.
A ticket worth $1 million from the national jackpot that was bought in Surrey is approaching its one-year expiry date.
The ticket was bought for the May 21, 2024, draw and correctly matched one of the 10 available Maxmillion prizes (see image 5 in gallery): 2, 5, 23, 30, 35, 45, and 46.
It's not known where exactly the physical ticket was purchased. The winner has until May 21, 2025, to claim their earnings.
