Shizhang said he enjoys LOTTO 6/49 and LOTTO MAX, and he’s been a regular player for about 10 years. “I found out I won while I was at home. I was excited and very, very happy,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his winnings. “My wife is the only other person who knows, and she’s also very happy!”

“I will put this win toward our mortgage,” Shizhang concluded.
