Chances are one Edmontonian is nearly $50 million richer today.
According to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation, a single locally purchased ticket won a massive $49,851,871 Lotto 6/49 prize on Wednesday night.
The winner and exact location of the purchase were not released.
To claim the prize, the winning ticket holder must give the Western Canada Lottery Corporation the right to publish both their name and a recent photograph of themselves.
However, the rules do not state that the prize must be claimed right away. The winner has one year from the date of the draw to claim the prize or else forfeit the winnings.
