Looking for a $21M winner

If you've got a 6/49 lottery ticket, you may want to check your numbers.

A lottery ticket purchased on PlayNow.com in B.C. will be bringing someone $21 million, which BCLC said is now the largest-ever online lottery prize won in Canada.

The lottery corporation said the winner hasn't come forward yet, but that the person has a full year to claim their prize.

Previously, the largest Canadian online lottery win was $7.6 million from Lotto 6/49, which was won by a Nanaimo resident in December 2010.

BCLC couldn't yet say where in B.C. the ticket was purchased, but will provide more details once the winner has come forward.
