Canadian lottery winner threatens to miss out on millions a year after the draw

Despite multiple calls, the identity of the winner of the Lotto Max Jackpot from October 28, 2025, remains unknown. The jackpot was worth 40 million Canadian dollars. If the prize is not claimed by midnight, it will be allocated to future draws. The ticket was purchased in Grey County, Ontario, a popular tourist area, raising questions about the winner's residency. The lottery has made efforts to locate the winner, urging ticket holders to check various places where the ticket might be. It's not uncommon for large prizes in Canada to go unclaimed, although it is rare for such significant amounts.
