UMVA has learned that a single ticket purchased in Peterborough, Ontario, has turned its holder into a $16 million millionaire.
The winning numbers—4, 6, 10, 21, 33, 39 with bonus 32—were drawn in the Gold Ball Jackpot on Saturday, and the encore number 0028484 confirmed the prize.
In a separate draw, a lucky player from the Parry Sound‑Nippissing region claimed the Lotto 6/49 second prize, pocketing $170,806.50.
Each $3 ticket offers a shot at two life‑changing jackpots every Wednesday and Saturday, with a fixed $5 million prize and a guaranteed $1 million Gold Ball prize, while the jackpot itself can swell from $10 million to over $60 million.
Just weeks earlier, a resident of Jarvis, Ontario, saw his fortunes explode by $44 million after winning the March 11 Gold Ball jackpot, prompting him to plan a dream vacation for his family.
Earlier this month, a Brampton ticket sparked a $70 million Lotto Max win, underscoring the province’s streak of massive payouts.
Ontario’s lottery authority has tightened privacy rules, now revealing only the winner’s first name and the initial of their surname, a shift from previously publishing full names on public cheques.
Since 2009, Ontario players have collectively secured more than $9.9 billion in Lotto Max prizes, including 122 jackpot victories and over a thousand Maxmillions awards.
