Toronto, ON – Ender Haci of Kanata can “find his possible” after winning a LOTTO 6/49 prize worth $1 million in the Gold Ball Draw on July 20, 2024.

Ender, who is self-employed, is fairly new to playing the lottery. He started playing with OLG just over a year ago. He loves to play LOTTO 6/49 and uses OLG’s Quick Pick feature to make his selections. Ender is now celebrating his first big win!

“I was at the store, thinking I didn’t win anything on my ticket and had cash ready to purchase another,” recalled Ender, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “To my surprise, when the store clerk checked my ticket, we both froze. The clerk had never experienced this before and called his manager. At this point, neither of us knew how much I had won. When it was confirmed that I had won $1 million, I was in shock! It was an unbelievable moment.”

Excited to share the news of his win, Ender called his brother. “When I told him, he didn’t believe me. To this day, he just doesn’t believe it,” smiled Ender. “Winning is indescribable! I feel like I am dreaming.”

With his winnings, Ender plans to pay some bills and look into the possibility of home ownership.

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.
