Vancouver’s winning $15 million lottery ticket expires

A Vancouver lotto player could be $15 million richer, but not for long.

The Lotto Max winner has not yet received the winning ticket from the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC).

BCLC is issuing a reminder to anyone in Vancouver who may have an unclaimed ticket that the $15 million prize expires on August 13.

“If you’ve been to Vancouver and purchased a lottery ticket, be sure to check your beach bags, suitcases, glove boxes or anywhere else for a winning $15 million Lotto Max ticket,” it said in a statement.

The winning numbers are 1-14-17-20-28-32-38. Players can check their tickets online, on the Lotto app or at any BCLC lottery retailer in the province.

“The claim process must begin on or before August 13, 2022 to be considered valid,” BCLC spokeswoman Shelley Wong said.

Lotto Max will announce the winner’s name and the specific retail location where it was purchased once the player has entered.

Winners have 52 weeks from the ticket draw date to claim their prize.
