Lotto 6/49

Someone in Calgary could be one in 13 million.

The winning ticket to Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 jackpot, worth nearly $25 million, was purchased in Cowtown, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) confirmed Sunday.

The winning numbers are 9, 11, 31, 34, 48, 49 and the bonus is 41.

“This is a substantial jackpot,” said WCLC spokeswoman Andrea Marantz. “Twenty-five million is really a life-changing amount of money.”

The chances of winning the pot are about one in 13 million, she said.

Whoever the brand new multi-millionaire has to wait until at least Monday to file the claim, said Marantz, who added, the winner has up to a year to claim the cash.

“We’ve had some hilarious cases where people will be using their ticket as a bookmark and they’ve just completely forgotten about it,” she said.

Even once the winner files a claim, it could take up to a few months until the cool $25 million lands in his or her pocket.

“With an amount of money this big, it’s not a one-day thing,” said Marantz.

“It takes a bit of time to do the paperwork.”

Alberta holds the Canada’s record lottery win after a group of oil field workers near Camrose claimed a $54.3-million prize in 2005, said Marantz.

Saturday’s winning ticket holder is asked to call 1-800-665-3313 to being the claim process.

The next Lotto 6/49 prize is an estimated $3 million.
