Major Winners

Toronto, ON – The LOTTO MAX odds have shone in favour for a group of three from North Bay! They won a MAXMILLIONS prize worth $1 million in the September 30, 2022 LOTTO MAX draw.

The group members are:

Patti Chamberlain of North Bay

Judith McIntyre of North Bay

Karin O'Reilly of North Bay

The three coworkers, who work in the financial industry, said they have been playing as a group for six years.

"I checked our ticket on the OLG App and thought, 'Oh my, that's a lot of zeroes,' I couldn't believe it. I took a screenshot and immediately sent it to Judith and Karin," said Patti.

"I thought it was a joke when I saw the text, and said, ‘Are you kidding me?’" said Judith. “When I realized it was real, I said, ‘Let’s bring out the wine!’ I was so excited.”

“I know Patti doesn’t kid around, but it was still hard to believe,” said Karin. “I felt so appreciative – like all the stars aligned that day.”

"We haven't made any plans yet. We wanted to see the cheque first – seeing is believing," Karin said. "I see a nice trip in our future. Hawaii, Paris and Las Vegas are on our bucket list," Judith concluded.

LOTTO MAX players in Ontario have won over $7.6 billion since 2009, including 96 jackpot wins and 843 MAXMILLIONS prizes, right across the province. LOTTO MAX is $5 per play and draws take place on Tuesdays and Fridays.
