A Canadian
who won a $50 million Lotto Max prize last November will finally pick up her
winnings later today.
Kathryn
Jones from Hamilton, Ontario, was totally unaware she had won the Jackpot
prize in the November 30, draw. She had even lost her winning ticket; so the
fact that she will soon be united with her prize says a lot about the diligence
of Ontario Lottery officials.
The Ontario
Lottery and Gaming Corporation knew where the ticket was bought and the date
and time of the purchase. They also knew it was the only $16 ticket sold at the
Shoppers Drug Mart, Cambridge, on that particular day. Most importantly, they knew
it was bought with a credit card, and that is how they finally tracked down
their missing winner.
