Toronto, ON – Iryna Tereshchuk of Toronto can realize her dreams after winning a $333,333.40 MAXMILLIONS prize in the November 25, 2025 LOTTO MAX draw. Her ticket was one of three that split a $1 million MAXMILLIONS prize, with each winner receiving $333,333.40.

“This is my first time playing the lottery!” Iryna shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her winnings. “I was discussing the lottery with a coworker and decided to pick up a ticket for fun.”

The 30-year-old, who works in digital media, said she checked her ticket on OLG.ca the day after the draw and she discovered she won big. “I didn’t see my numbers come up for the jackpot, but then I realized they matched the MAXMILLIONS winning numbers,” she recalled.

“I wanted to share the news with my family first, so I called my mom right away, though she was skeptical. I didn’t expect a win like this. It’s so hard to believe, but it feels awesome!”

Iryna has big plans for her windfall. She hopes to travel, buy something nice for her parents, and invest in her education. “It’ll be nice not to worry about the expense of trying new classes and learning new things,” she concluded.
