Someone who bought a ticket in Saskatoon for Wednesday’s Lotto 6/49 drawing has won the $5 million jackpot.

The identity of the winner is still unknown. It’s quite possible the winner hasn’t even realized they’ve won, according to Andrea Marantz, spokeswoman for the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC).

“It’s very common people won’t know,” Marantz said Thursday.

Whoever holds the winning ticket has a year from Wednesday’s drawing to claim their prize. They can do so by calling WCLC and making an appointment to bring the ticket in, Marantz said.

“We can’t consider it a prize claim until we have physical possession of the ticket,” she said.

The six winning numbers in Wednesday’s draw were 6, 8, 25, 39, 46, 47, according to the WCLC website.

Other major prizes awarded include a $1-million jackpot sold in Ontario and $238,000 for someone who bought a ticket in Quebec.

Once claimed, the $5-million jackpot will be the largest lottery win in the province since last August, when Rod Holinaty of La Ronge won $14.2 million in the 6/49.
