Rimouski Winner Has Yet to Claim 5 Million Dollar Prize

A 5 million dollar lottery prize remains unclaimed in the Rimouski area of Quebec, where Loto-Québec is trying to locate the person who holds the winning Lotto 6/49 ticket from the September 23 draw. The provincial lottery corporation confirmed to Journal Le Soir on October 12 that the winner had not yet come forward. The September 23 draw produced multiple major winners in Quebec.

In addition to the 5 million dollar classic jackpot, the guaranteed prize was also won in the province, according to Loto-Québec. The corporation allows winners 365 days from the draw date to claim their prizes. The winning ticket holder therefore has a year from September 23 to contact the lottery operator and complete the claim process.

Loto-Québec provides several ways for ticket holders to check their numbers, including its official website, its mobile application, and authorized retailers. Anyone holding a winning ticket can contact the corporation at 1-866-611-5686 to claim the prize.

The provincial corporation also alerts lottery customers when prizes worth at least 100,000 dollars remain unclaimed for several weeks after a draw. Information about outstanding prizes of 100,000 dollars or more is available in the lottery section of its website. Under Loto-Québec's rules, prizes that remain unclaimed are redistributed to players through bonus prizes and special draws. The corporation continues to seek the holder of the 5 million dollar ticket purchased in the Rimouski area.
