CALEDONIA RESIDENT’S DREAMS ARE NOW DREAMIER WITH A $1 MILLION LOTTO MAX MAXMILLIONS WIN

Toronto, ON – The LOTTO MAX odds have shone in favour of Kerry O'Connor of Caledonia! She won a MAXMILLIONS prize worth $1 million in the February 6, 2024 LOTTO MAX draw.

Kerry, 51, says this is her first big win and she plays LOTTO MAX a few times a month. "I was sitting at my desk, and I could see my purse from across the room. I decided to clean it out and saw a few tickets laying around, so I checked them using the OLG app and it said I won. I was so freaked out – I was in shock," she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her windfall.

"I ran downstairs to tell my husband and kids and they were all doing the happy dance. I jumped up and down a few times," Kerry said. "It's an amazing feeling. This win has taken a huge burden off me and will help me in many ways."

Kerry plans to pay off some bills, invest and take a family trip to Italy.

LOTTO MAX players in Ontario have won over $8 billion since 2009, including 100 jackpot wins and 862 MAXMILLIONS prizes, right across the province. LOTTO MAX is $5 per play and draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The winning ticket was purchased at IDA Pharmacy on Talbot Street in Cayuga.
