Somewhere in Quebec, there are six people who have no idea they’re sitting on lottery winnings worth between $100,000 and $1 million.
According to Loto-Québec’s official list of unclaimed prizes, half a dozen winning tickets are gathering dust in drawers, wallets, or glove compartments across the province, and two of them are worth a cool million dollars each.
If you’ve bought or received a lottery ticket in the past year and haven’t checked it yet, now might be a good time. Winners have anywhere from a few months to over a year to claim their prizes before the money gets redistributed as bonus prizes in future draws.
Here’s the breakdown of every unclaimed prize worth $100,000 or more.
