A lucky Toronto Blue Jays fan might be sitting on a prize worth nearly $3 million.
The Jays Care Foundation is looking for the April 50/50 winner that scored a life-changing prize of $2,873,030 last month.
In a tweet posted Monday, the foundation shared the news and confirmed the winning ticket was purchased at the Rogers Centre on April 11, which was Toronto’s home opener against the Detroit Tigers.
In an update by the foundation on Tuesday, it tweeted the winner purchased 250 tickets for $100 in the stadium between 6 to 6:30pm that day.
According to program rules, the winner needs to come forward and claim their prize because the ticket was purchased in-stadium.
The Jays Care 50/50 team only reaches out to winners whose tickets are purchased online.
Following the announcement, Jays fans were frantically checking their tickets hoping to be the next millionaire.
One Jays fan says she appreciates that the winner bought the ticket at the home opener.
Last year, the Jays Care 50/50 program awarded a fan a grand prize of more than $3.8 million, the highest jackpot total in MLB history.
The Jays Care Foundation has a mission to level the playing field for children across Canada by creating sports and recreation programs available to all.
Attendees of the Jays home opener who purchased a 50/50 draw ticket are encouraged to double check their numbers and see if they are the potential winner of one of MLB’s biggest prizes.
If you have the winning ticket number of 2051048083, contact jayscare5050@bluejays.com to claim your prize.
