Time has almost run out for a lottery winner in Canada to claim C$40m (£21.4m) in prize money, according to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

The winning ticket will expire on Wednesday "unless the rightful ticket holder comes forward", OLG said.

The corporation said the Lotto Max jackpot ticket was purchased a year ago at a retailer in Grey County, Ontario. The county - which includes the Blue Mountains and Owen Sound - is a popular tourist destination, which means someone may have bought the ticket and forgot to check it after coming home.
