Toronto, ON – The LOTTO MAX odds have shone in favour of Betty-Jane Novelletto of Essex! She won a MAXMILLIONS prize worth $1 million in the July 23, 2024 LOTTO MAX draw.

Betty-Jane, a mother and grandmother, has been playing the lottery with OLG for about 30 years. This was not her first visit to the OLG Prize Centre; Back in 2011, Betty-Jane won $100,000 with ENCORE on a LOTTO MAX ticket. She now returns to claim her $1 million MAXMILLIONS prize!

“I was on my way to pick up my car when I decided to check my tickets on the OLG app,” recalled Betty-Jane, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her windfall. “As I was checking my ticket, there was an announcement on the radio confirming someone in my area won $1 million. I said out loud, ‘That’s me!’”

Filled with confidence and excitement, Betty-Jane stopped at the store to have her winning ticket validated. “I told the clerk, ‘I won $1 million!’ She validated my ticket and realized it was true, saying, ‘OMG! You did!’ I responded, saying, ‘I told ya,’” Betty-Jane laughed.

Winning feels great! It was definitely an ‘OMG’ moment,” she concluded, with a smile.

With her winnings, Betty-Jane plans to buy a Jeep and invest.

LOTTO MAX players in Ontario have won over $8 billion since 2009, including 106 jackpot wins and 905 MAXMILLIONS prizes, right across the province. LOTTO MAX is $5 per play and draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The winning ticket was purchased at Multifood Supermarket on Crawford Avenue in Windsor.
