For the past month or so the 6/49 has been having special draws, using reserve funds that have accumulated mostly from the thousands of unclaimed prizes that have occured, or so I'm told. Most of these extra-large jackpots have been won in recent weeks, but because these are special draws the jackpot will keep going up until that reserve runs out.
This past draw for $37 million was won by one ticket in Ontario. One of the large pots from last week was one by two tickets, one from Ontario (of course, damn lucky Ontarians) and one from Quebec. Someone from Winnipeg and I believe from Edmonton each won $100K on the "extra" as well.
I'm not sure how much longer these special draws will last, this $40 mill could be the last one or it could go for a few more weeks and maybe reach a $50 mill draw, I don't know.
