Lottery tickets woke up new winners Sunday morning in Quebec, perhaps without even knowing it.

Lotto-Quebec announced on Sunday that "the $5 million classic jackpot offered in yesterday's (Saturday) Lotto 6/49 drawing was won thanks to a ticket sold in Quebec."

Lotto 6/49 ticket holders should check their numbers. Lottery results are available on the government company's website, lotoquebec.com.

The good news for lottery fans in Quebec continues as the holiday season approaches.

Last week, two lucky winners of the Dec. 3 Lotto Max drawing won $40 million each.

On Monday, one of the winners will be announced at a public news conference at the Montreal Casino.

He is the holder of the $80 million Lotto Maxi jackpot winning combination from the Dec. 3 drawing that appeared on a ticket sold in Quebec with two winning selections. He also won a $1 million MaxMillions prize in Quebec.
