Waiting is the hardest part.
File this under “laws I did not know about until this week”.
Since one of the winners works for an OLG-authorized reseller, this is called an insider win. Any insider win over $10,000 undergoes an enhanced review of the circumstances leading to the win and also requires the winners' names to be publicized for a month in case there are any more claimants for the prize.
The winning ticket was sold at a Shell station in Innisfil.
If no counterclaims come forward, the winners can claim their prize on January 4th, which is a pretty cool way to ring in the new year.
