Someone in Sooke won the Lotto 6/49 $1-million guaranteed prize draw Wednesday (March 24), but the lucky winner has not stepped forward.

The ticket holder has plenty of time, though 鈥� 364 days, to be precise 鈥� to claim their winnings from the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC).

It鈥檚 not unusual for people to try to get their ducks in a row before stepping forward, said Lara Gerrits, a spokesperson for BCLC.

鈥淓very winner is different. Some people like to hold onto their ticket for a while and give some thought before contacting us. Somebody might not have even checked their ticket yet,鈥� she said.

The BCLC doesn鈥檛 announce specific details on where a winning ticket was bought until the winner comes forward and the prize claim approved.

The winning number for the $1-million guaranteed prize is 14891179-01.
