FIRST LOTTERY TICKET PURCHASE LEADS TO $70 MILLION LOTTO MAX JACKPOT WIN FOR IROQUOIS FALLS COUPLE

Toronto, ON – To say it’s been a rollercoaster of a few weeks for Jennifer Stuart-Flynn and Kyle Murray of Iroquois Falls is an understatement. Jennifer and Kyle just welcomed a new baby into their family and, just days later, found out that they were Ontario’s newest multi-millionaires! The couple held the winning ticket for the $70 million LOTTO MAX jackpot from the August 20, 2024 draw.

Jennifer, 33, and Kyle, 39, had just returned home to Iroquois Falls from a Toronto hospital, where Jennifer had delivered their baby after a high-risk pregnancy. Kyle was waiting at the Timmins airport to pick up his mother, who was coming to help with the newborn. That’s when Jennifer texted Kyle, asking him to purchase a LOTTO MAX ticket after seeing on social media that the jackpot was at $70 million.

Kyle, who is originally from the U.S., had never bought a lottery ticket in Canada, despite having lived and worked here for several years. He asked the retailer for some help and purchased his very first LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 Quick Pick tickets with ENCORE.

When Kyle arrived home from the airport with his mother, he put the tickets on the fridge as a reminder to check them after the draw. Soon after the Tuesday August 20th LOTTO MAX draw, Jennifer heard that the jackpot-winning ticket was sold in the Timiskaming/Cochrane region. She was at the kitchen table having cereal when she decided to check their ticket. “I scanned the ticket on the OLG App and heard the ‘Winner/Gagnant’ win tone,” recounted Jennifer. “I was in shock and not processing what was happening, so I shut down the OLG App and reopened it. I checked the ticket again and heard the same thing. That’s when I called out to Kyle!”

Kyle, who is in the financial technology industry and works from home, says he was busy with work when he heard Jennifer call his name. “I thought I heard ‘Winner/Gagnant’ coming from Jennifer’s phone in the kitchen, but I wasn’t completely focused on what she was saying until she yelled “I think we won!”  said Kyle. “I looked at her phone and read ‘$70 million winner,’ but I was trying to figure out if it was displaying the maximum prize or if we actually won $70 million. I felt light-headed and that sensation ran through my whole body!”

The first person to hear the incredible news was Kyle’s mom, who was staying with them to help with the baby. She couldn’t believe what was happening and was over the moon with excitement. Jennifer and Kyle decided to take Kyle’s mom and their kids for a secret celebration at a local restaurant. “We wanted to shout the news, but we knew that in our small town, this type of news would travel very fast. We had to be careful not to spill the beans throughout the entire dinner,” laughed Jennifer.

As for what Jennifer and Kyle plan to do with this overwhelming windfall, they both said, “We are carefully considering what to do with the $70 million because it’s a lot of money and it comes with a lot of responsibility.” Whenever Jennifer dreamed about winning the lottery, she always said she would buy her sister a new house, and now that’s at the top of her to-do list. “My sister is the most kind, loving, and generous person in the world, so I want to make sure she is taken care of,” she smiled. Next, Kyle and Jennifer want to ensure that their children have a wonderful life, so they plan to make a special purchase. “We want to buy some land to set up a little farm with chickens and a highland cow. We hope it will be a place where the kids can have fun and will want to return to as they get older,” explained Kyle.

While the couple were processing their good fortune during their winner celebration in Toronto, Kyle reflected on the recent past and the promising future ahead. “The last few years have been a struggle, and everything we did was to make a better life for the kids.” Jennifer added, “I realize my kids are going to have a much better life than I had and that makes me the most emotional. They are set and won’t have to wonder or worry about anything anymore.”

As they embark on this incredible journey, Jennifer and Kyle both agree, “We would not want anyone else by our side during this wild and unexpected experience.”

The $70 million winning LOTTO MAX ticket was purchased at Esso on Algonquin Boulevard in Timmins.

This LOTTO MAX jackpot win is the sixth jackpot win in a row in Ontario this year.

OLG supports safe play and wants to keep the fun in the game. That’s why OLG is proud to be a leader in promoting responsible gambling with our globally recognized PlaySmart program.

THE BEER STORE TO SELL LOTTERY PRODUCTS IN SELECT LOCATIONS

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is pleased to announce the launch of lottery sales at The Beer Store beginning September 2024.

The Beer Store is piloting self-serve lottery in eight of its stores, with a broader rollout to begin later this fall. Self-serve lottery offers customers the convenience of purchasing national and regional draw-based lottery games, as well as a wide variety of INSTANT tickets, using debit and credit cards (including Google Wallet and Apple Pay).

While self-serve lottery offers customers ease of use and a large selection of games, prizes will continue to be redeemed at any full-service OLG lottery retailer or at OLG.CA.

“Since 100 per cent of OLG’s profits are reinvested into communities across the province, expanding lottery into new retail locations sustains OLG’s efforts to give back to the people of Ontario,” said Duncan Hannay, OLG’s President and CEO. “We look forward to working with The Beer Store, bringing more convenience to our players, while driving them into our vast network of lottery retailers to redeem their prizes.”

“We’re pleased to enter a partnership with OLG and look forward to offering our customers something new on their next shopping trip,” said Roy Benin, President of The Beer Store. “These self-serve kiosks allow us to jointly maintain our commitment to social responsibility while offering access to lottery in select retail stores.”

As a trusted leader in gaming entertainment, OLG is committed to making player health a top priority. The Beer Store’s extensive training on servicing their age-restricted customers supports OLG’s policy of restricting play to those 18 years of age or older. Tailored responsible gambling messaging is also fully integrated into the self-serve terminals.

For more information on where to find self-serve lottery at The Beer Store and other retailers in Ontario, visit our website. Locations will be updated on OLG’s website as self-serve lottery continues to rollout across the province.

Every play with OLG is a winning one because all profits are reinvested into communities. Last fiscal year, OLG delivered $2.4 billion back to Ontario, with the sale of lottery tickets making up almost half of that amount.

OLG and Team Canada Launch Official Partnership Ahead of Paris 2024

TORONTO – July 15, 2024 – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is excited to announce its first-ever official partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee – becoming the Official Ontario Lottery Partner of Team Canada for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

“Ontario is ready to cheer on Team Canada athletes as they compete in Paris this summer,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “This new partnership is showcasing one of the many ways OLG’s support makes a difference to people and communities across the province.”

“We are thrilled to welcome OLG to Team Canada,” said Jacqueline Ryan, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of the Canadian Olympic Committee and CEO of the Canadian Olympic Foundation. “Ontario has such a rich sporting history and OLG has long been a supporter of sport and amateur athletes. We know this support has made a profound impact on athletes across the province, whether they’re engaged in sport at the grassroots level or pursuing their Olympic dreams.”

“We are so pleased to be entering a new partnership with OLG and welcoming them into the Canadian Paralympic community,” said Karen O’Neill, CEO, Canadian Paralympic Committee. “We know support for sport and athletes has been important to OLG for many years, and we are excited to work with them to continue to champion Ontario’s Para athletes and inclusive sport across Ontario.”

As momentum builds towards the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, OLG is also shining a spotlight on its players, who have helped support amateur athletes in Ontario by playing with OLG. The new “Sponsored by You” campaign reinforces that when you play with OLG, you support Ontario athletes.

Since 2006, OLG and the Ontario government have supported high-performance amateur athletes through the Quest for Gold athlete assistance program. The program has provided direct financial support to thousands of amateur athletes, enhancing their ability to train by offsetting the costs of training and living expenses.

“Many people don’t realize 100 per cent of OLG’s profits are reinvested into Ontario, and that we have a longstanding history of supporting amateur athletes,” said Maxine Chapman, VP Brand & Marketing Officer at OLG. “OLG’s ability to give back to communities is only possible thanks to our players, so we wanted to use this opportunity to recognize and celebrate them.”

OLG’s campaign features Team Canada athletes Andre De Grasse, Penny Oleksiak, Maggie Mac Neil, Jillian Weir and other Ontario athletes and Para athletes who have received funding from Ontario’s Quest for Gold program.

“Training for the Olympics takes a lot of preparation – physically, mentally and financially – and it’s not something you can succeed at alone,” said six-time Olympic medallist Andre De Grasse. “Having programs like Quest for Gold to help and knowing your community is supporting you makes all the difference, especially when you’re competing on the world stage.”

The success of the Quest for Gold program shows in the numbers – in the last four Olympic cycles, over 90 per cent of Ontario medal winners had received Quest for Gold funding during their career.

“The Quest for Gold program showcases our government’s continued efforts to enable Ontario athletes to achieve their full potential at the highest levels of competition,” said Neil Lumsden, Minister of Sport. “We are proud to join with the OLG, our partners across the sport sector and all Ontarians in wishing our Olympic and Paralympic athletes the best of luck in Paris!”

To make players feel like sponsors, OLG is bringing a traveling “Sponsored by You” Portrait Studio to several Ontario communities this summer. Players will have the opportunity to take a personalized portrait to show their support for Ontario’s amateur athletes and will also have a chance to win great prizes — including Team Canada prize packs*.

Plus if you buy a lottery ticket online at OLG.ca between July 15 and August 12, 2024, you can enter for a chance to win a trip to watch Team Canada at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games**!

EXCITING NEW TRIPLE MILLIONS LOTTERY GAME WITH GUARANTEED PRIZING

TORONTO, ON – Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is thrilled to introduce TRIPLE MILLIONS – an exciting, new lottery game designed with our players’ feedback in mind. OLG’s TRIPLE MILLIONS game includes 408 prizes ranging from $1,000 to $1 million, with three early bird prizes of $50,000.

What sets TRIPLE MILLIONS apart is its raffle-style game structure, guaranteeing that all prizes will be won. Tickets are available at OLG retailers across Ontario from now until August 29, 2024. Purchase before July 25, 2024 to get in on a $50,000 Early Bird draw!

“At OLG, we’re player obsessed. We continue to launch new and exciting games inspired by what our customers want – they asked for more prizing and guaranteed winners, and we delivered,” says Nancy Kennedy, OLG’s Chief Lottery and Customer Officer. “TRIPLE MILLIONS is the latest in a series of fresh, fun games that like all OLG products, gives back to communities across the province.”

Profits from TRIPLE MILLIONS are reinvested into Ontario to support key government priorities like health care, the treatment and prevention of problem gambling, and support for amateur athletes. As one of the largest non-tax revenue generators for the province, OLG delivered $2.5 billion back to Ontario last fiscal year, with the sale of lottery tickets making up almost half of that amount.

OLG promotes responsible gambling and is committed to helping players create and maintain smart play habits. PlaySmart, OLG’s award-winning program, helps players enjoy games in a responsible way.
