Lottery winner has not come forward after a year and risks missing out on 40 million

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 unclaimed, the funds will be used for 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, but the ticket has not been validated. Players are urged to check all possible locations for the ticket. Unclaimed lottery prizes are rare in Canada, with only 1% of prizes typically going unclaimed, mostly smaller amounts.
