Lotto Jackpot Record to Be Hit

There is many an excited Canadian tonight. The Lotto649 in Canada is looking to hit an all time record for their ticket sales, and everyone is hoping that they can be the one to win it.

According to the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, the estimated jackpot is not only going to be a record number of sales – but it is also going to be near $50 million. The largest it has ever been before is $54 million back in 2005 – and they expect that there is a good chance that this could beat that one.

The lottery says that they are expecting retailers to get “larger-than-expected” crowds tonight. They know that people are going to want to get their chance at winning all those millions, so they have put everyone on alert to expect such.

They say that most of the people are going to be looking to get their tickets in the final hours before the lottery is drawn. Many retailers are planning on bringing in extra help just in case there is a rush, and they say that if no one hits it this time, business is sure to be even more before the next drawing. They say that this is an exciting time, and cannot wait to see who hits it and how big it is when they do.
