Toronto, ON – Robert Morris of Hamilton can “find his possible” after winning a LOTTO 6/49 prize worth $1 million in the Gold Ball Draw on September 14, 2024.

Robert, a retiree, signed up for a LOTTO 6/49 subscription on OLG.ca back in 2022. He liked the convenience of having his tickets automatically purchased. Robert chooses his own numbers and makes sure to add ENCORE to his online tickets. The father and grandfather is excited to share the news of his first big win!

“I saw an email come through from OLG. I was already logged into my OLG.ca account and thought I had won $1,000. I was happy with that amount,” Robert recalled, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “It wasn’t until I received a call from OLG that I realized I had actually won $1 million!”

“I had already told my family I had won $1,000. When I called them back to say I had actually won a million dollars, they were shocked,” Robert smiled. “I was still in shock too! I was worried this was all too good to be true. It’s been unbelievable, but I am thankful for this win.”

“I plan to invest for my future to ensure I’m comfortable. I’ll share some with my children and grandchildren, and treat myself to a few things too,” Robert grinned. “I also hope to enjoy some travel,” he concluded.

LOTTO 6/49 offers players a chance to win two multi-million dollar jackpots every Wednesday and Saturday, for the same $3 per play.

The Classic Draw offers a fixed $5 million jackpot for every draw, while the Gold Ball Draw guarantees a $1 million prize, or the growing jackpot that starts at $10 million and can exceed $60 million. Click here for more information about the new LOTTO 6/49.
