Loto-Québec is looking for the owners of five winning tickets for prizes of over $100,000 — including two who will forfeit their winnings if they don’t come forward in the next few days.
The provincial crown corporation says a $500,000 and a $250,000 prize have yet to be claimed off tickets bought in the Capitale-Nationale and Joliette regions.

Winners have 12 months to claim their prizes. Unclaimed jackpots are put back into various lotteries in the form of special draws or bonus jackpots.
