Lotto Max mystery:
Record $60-million lotto winner still to come forward.
The winner of a record-equalling $60-million Lotto Max jackpot last month has yet to come forward to claim the cash but, somewhat surprisingly, that in itself is not an unusual thing.
In fact, some winners have been known to deliberately avoid claiming their winnings for months on end while they get their lives in order and work out their new life priorities.
“The latest is there’s no latest,” joked Western Canada Lottery Corporation spokesman Kevin van Egdom on Monday about the ticket sold in Edmonton.
“We haven’t heard anything and we are still waiting and hoping and knocking on wood that we hear from somebody really soon.”
The same draw on Oct. 26 also offered 56 MaxMillions prizes of $1 million each — and 27 of them were won. Those prizes will be shared among 36 winning ticket holders.
Van Egdom said they had one instance in which $1-million winner decided to book a vacation to Hawaii before he claimed his prize to take a little bit of time to get his thoughts straight.
A $50-million winning couple in Edmonton a few years ago went close to nine months before coming forward. They managed to keep it a secret from everyone but their daughter, van Egdom said.
“Sometimes with the really big wins people take their time. It’s also possible that someone is not aware of it,” he said.
“Some people come in very quickly because they don’t want to have that ticket in their hands anymore.”
Just where the winning ticket was sold in the city won’t be revealed until the winner comes forward since it is part of security protocols that are used to help verify the winner.
