TORONTO — One lucky person who recently bought a lottery ticket in Toronto is now $44 million richer… they may just not know it yet.

In a news release issued Wednesday, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation said that the $44,023,273.40 winning Lotto Max ticket from Tuesday’s draw was sold in Toronto.

Lotto Max draws run twice a week on Tuesday and Friday and players receive three sets of seven numbers ranging from one to fifty. The winning ticket matches all seven numbers drawn in any one set.

The winning numbers are 2-13-15-19-38-39-46, the OLG said.

Players are encouraged to check their numbers at OLG.ca, the OLG app, or contact OLG directly.

The next draw goes on July 23 with an estimated jackpot of $10 million.
