Did you buy a lottery ticket last March somewhere in northern Vancouver Island? If so, it might be time to check your ticket.
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) says time is running out for whoever bought the winning $1 million Guaranteed Prize Lotto 6/49 ticket for the March 18 2020 draw.
The corporation says the ticket was bought somewhere in the North Island, which includes Alert Bay, Telegraph Cove, Port Hardy, Coal Harbour and Port McNeill, among other municipalities.
All tickets expire one year from the draw date, and this one is quickly approaching.
The ticket is set to expire at midnight on March 18, 2021, as all lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize.
The Guaranteed Prize Draw winning numbers are 19117903-02, and can be found displayed underneath the main set of six numbers. Participants can check their tickets anytime on the BCLC Lotto! app here.
The retail location where the ticket was purchased can not be released until the winner comes forward to claim the prize.
More information about how to claim a lottery prize is available here.
In 2020, BCLC paid out more than $691 million in lottery prizes.
