BCLC Spokesperson Erica Simpson spoke with

“Just when we thought the excitement couldn’t grow any larger it really did because heading into Friday’s Lotto Max Draw we are going to have a new record-setting total amount of prizes being drawn.”
“A 140-million will be a new historic record for Lotto Max and for any one lottery total prize draw amount in Canadian history.”
With a path to reopening now clear to them, Napaâs live music venues have begun allowing themselves to imagine the day theyâll welcome performers and patrons back.
At the Blue Note Napa, a downtown hall known for showcasing jazz musicians, Managing Director Ken Tesler even has a date in mind: Oct. 24, which will also mark the clubâs fifth year in business. That date is contingent on local and state permission as well as logistics and community appetite, Tesler said.Â
âNow we at least have somewhat of a roadmap,â Tesler said, referring to Gov. Gavin Newsomâs late-March release of tier-by-tier guidance for live musical performances and other large in-person events. Newsom announced in early April he expected the state to move beyond its reopening blueprint and fully reopen its economy by June 15, a date Tesler and his music industry peers are now eyeing with interest.

The B.C. Lottery Corp. said the winning ticket will expire at midnight on March 18, exactly a year after the draw.
Erica Simpson, a spokeswoman for the lottery corporation, said Thursday it’s rare for major jackpots to go unclaimed.
Over the past 10 years, she said only six major prizes of $500,000 or more haven’t been claimed.
It’s also uncommon for winners to wait until the last minute to cash in.
“A year ago it was the start of the pandemic and a lot of things were changing … stores were closing and people had a lot on their minds,” Simpson said. “We want our players to think back on when they might have purchased tickets in that area.”
