Huge Grey Cup 50/50 ticket goes unclaimed
The Grey Cup celebrations may not be over yet. A lucky fan may be sitting on a 50/50 ticket worth $434,405.
According to the Grey Cup Festival, the ticket was purchased at BC Place, but no one claimed the cash when their number was called.
The winning ticket number is GC-8613017.
A spokesperson for the BC Lions told CTV News that the winner has one year to claim the jackpot.
The 111th Grey Cup, hosted in Vancouver, generated a jackpot of $860,810 on Sunday, with proceeds benefiting amateur football in British Columbia.
The BC Lions website reads that in-game 50/50 purchasers would have received a paper ticket featuring their draw numbers. Then, the winners are posted on-screen in-game and on the 50/50 landing page at the end of each game.
The website says online ticket buyers receive an email receipt a few minutes after purchasing, which lists all the numbers associated with the purchased tickets.
If you have the winning ticket, you're asked to call 604-930-5466.
