WHITBY RESIDENT CAN DREAM TO THE MAX WITH A $333,333 LOTTO MAX MAXMILLIONS WIN
Toronto, ON – Geoffrey McCaul of Whitby can realize his dreams after winning a $333,333.40 MAXMILLIONS prize in the December 30, 2025 LOTTO MAX draw. His ticket was one of three that split a $1 million MAXMILLIONS prize, with each winner receiving $333,333.40.
Geoffrey, 65, has been a loyal lottery player with OLG for about 30 years. He enjoys playing LOTTO MAX and LOTTARIO, using OLG’s Quick Pick feature to make his selections. “I’ve won smaller prizes over the years, but nothing this major!” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect his windfall.
After driving his wife to work one morning, Geoffrey checked his ticket and discovered his big win. “I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I’m retiring next month, so this win came at a good time. It feels surreal!”
He then called his wife to reveal the incredible news. “She kept saying, ‘No way!’” he recalled with a smile. “When we told the kids, they were so excited and happy.”
Geoffrey hasn’t decided how he’ll spend his winnings just yet. “One thing’s for sure — I plan to upgrade our seats when we fly to Australia to visit family!”
LOTTO MAX players in Ontario have won over $9.7 billion since 2009, including 119 jackpot wins and 997 MAXMILLIONS prizes, right across the province. LOTTO MAX is $5 per play and draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays. Click here for more information about LOTTO MAX.
The winning ticket was purchased at Shell on Harwood Avenue North in Ajax.
