We’re taught from a very early age about how to share with others.

It’s the cornerstone of the golden rule.

Someone in B.C. will definitely have to do that in a big way.

A Lotto 6/49 ticket purchased in Parksville won big, matching all six numbers along with a ticket purchased in Newfoundland and Labrador to split the $6-million jackpot (for $3 million each) in last night’s draw.

The six winning numbers were 13, 15, 17, 25, 34 and 45.

All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize. The specific retail location where the winning lottery ticket was purchased, and the lottery winners’ name(s) will be announced after the winner has come forward to claim their prize.

So far in 2021, B.C. lottery players redeemed more than $44 million in winnings from Lotto 6/49. Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).
