Saturday’s Lotto 6-49 estimated at $55 million, a Canadian lottery record
TORONTO – Lottery kiosks are expected to be busy heading into tonight’s Lotto 6-49 draw.
Hopeful players will likely be lining up to buy tickets for what Ontario Lottery and Gaming estimates will be a record jackpot of $55 million.
OLG says that would be the largest jackpot in Canadian lottery history.
The current record is $54.3 million from October 2005.
It was claimed by a group of 17 oil and gas workers in Camrose, Alta.
Each took home $3.2 million.
The odds of guessing the right numbers for tonight’s jackpot are about one in 14-million.
