The winner only has three days left to claim the Lotto 6/49 prize, which is set to expire at midnight Thursday, Sept. 28, according to a BC Lottery Corporation media release.

Anyone who purchased a ticket for the draw are advised to check their homes, cars, wallets and purses for the winning ticket.
