Weekend Winners: Two Lottery Players Split a Million Dollar Prize

Two lucky lottery players in Canada are celebrating after they each won half of a $1 million prize.

The winning tickets were purchased at two different locations in Ontario. One ticket was bought at a convenience store in Toronto, while the other was purchased at a gas station in Ottawa.

The winners have not yet come forward to claim their prizes, but lottery officials say they have 12 months to do so.

If you think you may have a winning lottery ticket, there are a few things you need to do:

1. Check the numbers on your ticket carefully to make sure they match the winning numbers.
2. Sign the back of your ticket and write your name and address on it.
3. Take your ticket to a lottery retailer or lottery office to claim your prize.
