A Mississauga, Ont., woman has claimed a $64-million jackpot, the largest in Canadian lottery history.

Zhe Wang won on a single Lotto 6/49 ticket bought for a draw in October 2015.

She purchased her ticket at a Petro-Canada station on Artesian Drive in Mississauga. 

According to the OLG, the winner has decided not to do a news conference as it is not mandatory.  

Prior to Wang's win, the largest jackpot won in Canada was $63,413,885 in 2013. That jackpot was shared by four winning tickets.
