Someone in B.C. became a lottery winner over the weekend.
A player who purchased a ticket virtually on PlayNow.com somewhere across the province is six figures richer, courtesy of Lotto 6/49's classic draw on Saturday, Feb. 8.
The exact prize: $143,549.50.
The winning ticket correctly selected five of the numbers from the national draw (see image 2 in the gallery): 07, 17, 22, 26, 27, 32, 46 (bonus).
The B.C. participant was one of two winners from the Lotto 6/49 draw on Saturday.
Someone in Vancouver won the $1-million White Ball jackpot after picking the number drawn out of 30 balls in the pot (see image 3 in the gallery): 17419658-02.
"All lottery prize winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward to claim their prize," BCLC has previously stated.
"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."
Lotto 6/49's Gold Ball jackpot worth $10 million went unclaimed from Saturday's draw.
The odds of winning the Lotto 6/49 classic prize draw are one in 13,983,816, BCLC explained.
Meanwhile, a Lotto Max ticket bought in Vancouver garnered more than $150,000 from Friday's jackpot.
The winner matched at least six of the seven selected numbers (see image 4 in gallery): 10, 11, 20, 21, 27, 32, 49, 35 (bonus).
No one took home Lotto Max's grand prize of $15-million.
