Toronto, ON – George and Cindy Milosh of Oshawa can “find their possible” after winning a LOTTO 6/49 prize worth $1 million in the Gold Ball Draw on January 14, 2023.
Cindy and George, a married couple, said they play the lottery weekly. « The morning after buying the ticket, I checked our numbers on OLG.ca and thought ‘Wow, these look close to our numbers,' » shared George while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up the windfall. « Cindy came home from the grocery store and I said, ‘Drop the groceries, I think we won big!' »
« We were laughing with excitement, » Cindy added. « We couldn’t believe it! »
Cindy and George plan to put their win toward their grandchildren’s education and go on vacation. « It will definitely be helpful now that were both retired. »
