Thi Thao, a restaurant owner, has been playing the lottery with OLG for 30 years. She recently started playing LOTTO MAX with a group of family members, friends, and coworkers. Now, they’re ecstatic to be celebrating their first big win!

“I checked our ticket at the store and couldn’t believe it when I saw that we had won $1 million!” said Thi Thao, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre with her group members to collect their windfall. “I was with another group member at the time, and we both started freaking out in the best way possible! Then, I texted the rest of our group. They were all shocked and thrilled.”

“We are all so happy and excited! This win is miraculous,” Thi Thao concluded.

LOTTO MAX players in Ontario have won over $8.8 billion since 2009, including 109 jackpot wins and 921 MAXMILLIONS prizes, right across the province. LOTTO MAX is $5 per play and draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays.
