The Western Canada Lottery Corporation is extending the period for claiming prizes on winning tickets. The agency says it recognizes that social distancing to try to slow the spread of COVID-19 may make it difficulty for lottery players to step forward.

Prizes on tickets that would have expired between March 17 and Sept. 17 will be valid for another six months past the original expiry date.

The extension applies to all games the corporation oversees, including Lotto Max, Lotto 6-49, Western Max, Poker Lotto, Sport Select, Proline, Keno and Zing scratch tickets.

Lottery tickets are still available to buy at retail outlets, although some business have suspended sales during the pandemic.
