Someone in Peterborough woke up today a whole lot richer after a lottery ticket purchased in the city last night landed a life-changing $16 million prize.

A LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball jackpot worth $16 million was won in Saturday night's draw, and the winning ticket was purchased in Peterborough.

The win was announced by Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation on Sunday, confirming that the lucky ticket holder matched the winning Gold Ball selection in the May 30, 2026 draw.

For now, the identity of the winner remains unknown, which means plenty of people across Peterborough may be checking pockets, purses, wallets and glove compartments a little more carefully today.

A $16 million jackpot is enough to change a life in an instant, and before long, someone in the city will be doing just that.

OLG says the winning Gold Ball ticket was purchased in Peterborough. More details, including the winner's identity and where the ticket was sold, are expected once the prize is claimed.

Until then, Peterborough has a new millionaire. In fact, a multi-millionaire.
