ottawa.ctvnews.caI don’t have live access to current news in this turn. Here’s what I can share based on the latest publicly reported items up to 2025 and typical patterns for Ontario Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball wins.
Direct answer
- The most recent widely reported Ontario Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball jackpot win to surface in public coverage was a $60 million prize purchased online for the May 7, 2025 draw, with the winner claimed in Ontario and an email notification issued to the winner.[1][5]
Context and what this means
- Gold Ball Draws guarantee either a $1 million prize or a growing jackpot; in 2025 Ontario had at least one $60 million Gold Ball win from May 7, 2025, with the winner claiming the prize.[5][6]
- Since Gold Ball prizes can be claimed by online purchases via OLG.ca, some winners receive electronic notifications once their ticket is validated, as reported for the May 2025 $60M win.[1]
What to do if you’re checking for the latest
- If you have a ticket or are checking for a potential recent winner, check the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s official “Winners” or “News” sections on their site for the most up-to-date prize claims and Gold Ball jackpots.[4][9]
- You can also review recent local Ontario outlets that cover lottery results for the latest public confirmations, though always cross-check with OLG’s official notices to avoid speculation.[8][1]
Illustrative example
- In 2025, a Gold Ball winner in Ontario claimed a $60 million jackpot won on May 7 through online purchase; this is a representative example of how recent large Gold Ball wins have been reported and claimed in Ontario.[5][1]
Note on limits
- Because reporting varies and claims can be made at different times, the absolute latest winner may not be reflected here. For the most current status, consult the OLG winners page or recent reputable Ontario news outlets that reference OLG announcements.[4][1]
