BRAMPTON RESIDENT CAN DREAM TO THE MAX WITH A $1 MILLION LOTTO MAX MAXMILLIONS WIN

Toronto, ON – Perfecto Adajar of Brampton can realize his dreams after winning a $1 million MAXMILLIONS prize in the August 20, 2024 LOTTO MAX draw.

Perfecto, an IT specialist, is celebrating his first big win after playing the lottery with OLG for more than 20 years. The married father of one enjoys playing LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49, DAILY KENO, and DAILY GRAND, choosing numbers that correlate with special family birthdays.

“It was early morning when I decided to check my ticket using the OLG app. When I saw the prize amount, I was shocked and thankful,” Perfecto recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “It took all day for reality to settle in. I shared the good news with my wife and kid, they were so happy. They said I deserve this win because I have always been a hard worker.”

“I feel beyond blessed. Winning is the best feeling you could imagine,” Perfecto concluded.

With his winnings, Perfecto plans to pay off his mortgage and add to his savings.

LOTTO MAX players in Ontario have won over $8 billion since 2009, including 108 jackpot wins and 919 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 Canadian Tire Gas+ on Dixie Road in Mississauga.
