Someone who bought a lottery ticket in Parry Sound, Ont., last year is about to miss out on a $100,000 prize if they don't claim it within the next two weeks.
The winning Lotto 6/49 ticket is for the Oct. 25, 2023, draw, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. said in a news release Friday morning.
It was purchased in the Muskoka area between Sudbury and Toronto.
