TORONTO, ON – Mary Battaglini of Mississauga won “Ontario’s jackpot” – $1,152,781.90 in the July 19, 2025 LOTTARIO draw.

For years, Mary has enjoyed playing a variety of games with OLG, including LOTTARIO, LOTTO MAX, and LOTTO 6/49. Now, she’s thrilled to be celebrating her first big win.

Mary checked her ticket at home and realized it was a big winner. “I was shocked,” she said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her windfall. “In fact, I’m still in shock now!”

After taking a moment to let the news sink in, Mary shared the news with her husband. “He was so surprised and joyful,” she smiled.

With her winnings, Mary plans to pay some bills and help out her family. “This still feels amazing — just wow,” she concluded.
