The lottery company says they have since contacted the person who validated the ticket and will now meet with them to determine whether they are its rightful owners.
“If the rightful ownership is determined, then OLG will hold a winner celebration and share their story with the media and the public as part of our winner disclosure process,” officials said in an email.
“Until then, OLG will take the time needed to determine the rightful ownership of the $40 million LOTTO MAX ticket.”
The winning numbers for the Lotto Max draw were – 06, 14, 17, 19, 26, 43, 45, with Bonus Number 27.
