Canadian registers just before the deadline for a 25 million euro jackpot

A lottery winner in Ontario has claimed a prize of 40 million Canadian dollars after initially being at risk of missing the deadline. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation confirmed the winner's claim and is verifying their identity before celebrating the win. The lottery had previously urged ticket holders to check for their tickets, as the deadline was the last day to claim the prize, which was drawn a year ago. Typically, about 1% of lottery prizes in Canada go unclaimed, often smaller amounts, but significant sums have also been lost in the past.
