  "account": "The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has announced that an unclaimed $40 million Lotto Max ticket will expire on Wednesday, marking one year after the October 28, 2025 draw. The winning ticket was purchased at an authorized retailer in Grey County, a region encompassing communities such as Owen Sound, Meaford, and Durham. With the deadline swiftly approaching, the OLG is urging anyone who bought a ticket in Grey County, or visited the area during the draw, to verify their tickets immediately. Tourist and day-trip activity in the region raises the chance that the winner could be an outsider who purchased the ticket and then unknowingly retained it. The winning numbers for the October 28, 2025 draw are 6, 14, 17, 19, 26, 43, 45, with 27 as the bonus number.",
