If you’ve bought a lottery ticket in Quebec recently and haven’t gotten around to checking it yet, now might be a good time.
Loto-Québec is currently searching for nine people who have won prizes of $100,000 or more and have yet to come forward to claim them. The unclaimed total includes two jackpots worth $2 million each, three prizes of $1 million, and several others ranging from $100,000 to $333,333. One winner is even owed $25,000 per year for life.
What many players don’t realize is that lottery prizes come with a claim deadline. Once that window closes, unclaimed winnings don’t roll over to the next draw. The money goes back to Loto-Québec and is redistributed as bonus prizes. The winner, meanwhile, walks away with nothing.
As of May 25, 2026, here are the nine unclaimed prizes still on the table.
