woman is set to become $50 million richer — even though she lost
her winning lottery ticket a year ago.
The case of this outstanding $50-million Lotto Max jackpot is one of the most unique in OLG's history. Jones bought her ticket last year at a Shoppers Drug Mart on Dundas Street in Cambridge and she lost the ticket. This fall, two OLG employees showed up at her door and informed her about the winning ticket. The commission found Jones while investigating someone else’s claim. A host of surveillance tools were used to determine Jones was the winner, including surveillance video at the store, a lengthy interview process, and proof of credit card purchase at the exact time and place where the $16 winning ticket was sold.
