HAVELOCK RESIDENT WINS $2 MILLION WITH ONTARIO 49
TORONTO, ON – Christine W. of Havelock is celebrating after winning a $2 million jackpot in the ONTARIO 49 draw on September 16, 2026.
Christine said she enjoys playing a variety of lottery games with OLG. She is thankful to be at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to celebrate her major win and share the story of how she discovered it.
“I was at home one morning when everything changed,” Christine recalled. “I checked my ticket on the OLG app and saw all those zeros. Believe it or not, I went to work and didn’t tell a soul. I didn’t even tell my family. Five days later, I finally told my daughter. It was the biggest secret of my life!”
With her winnings, Christine plans to help her daughter purchase a home and take a trip to Bora Bora.
“This is a dream come true,” she concluded.
ONTARIO 49 is $1 per play and the draws take place every Wednesday and Saturday. Combination Play is available in five-, seven-, eight- and nine-number selections. Tickets are sold until 10:30 p.m. Visit the ONTARIO 49 page on OLG.ca for more information.
