The owner of a lottery ticket purchased in Nanaimo has reason to celebrate today.
While they missed the jackpot, that Lotto 6/49 ticket for Wednesday night’s draw matched 4 out of 4 numbers.
That earns them the top Extra prize of half-a-Million dollars.
The winning ticket for Wednesday’s $6-Million Lotto 6/49 jackpot was bought in Vancouver.
