Four Winners in Saturday Night’s $50.3 Million Canada 6/49 Lotto Game; It’s Canada’s Second Biggest Jackpot Ever

Saturday (Feb. 21) night’s 6/49 Lotto draw carried the second biggest Canadian jackpot ever, at $50.3 million (Canadian dollars) and the game produced four winners, one in Quebec and three in Ontario.

The Ontario tickets were purchased in the Sudbury area, as well as the Halton Region west of Toronto and Durham Region east of the city.

I do not yet know where in Quebec the winning ticket was bought.

Each winner will receive just under $12.6 million.

The biggest Canadian prize — $54 million — was won in 2005 by a lottery pool, 17 oil and gas workers from the Alberta communities of Camrose, Killam and Sedgewick.

There was no big winner in the Feb. 24 Mega Millions game moving the jackpot up to a very hefty $171 million.
