MILTON RESIDENTS WIN $1.6 MILLION IN LOTTO 6/49 CLASSIC DRAW

Toronto, ON Scott and Wanda Farrell of Milton can “find their possible” after winning $1,666,666.70 in the LOTTO 6/49 Classic Draw on September 10, 2025. The LOTTO 6/49 draw produced three winning tickets for the $5 million Classic Jackpot, with each ticket holder receiving $1,666,666.70.

Scott and Wanda, a sibling duo, have been playing the lottery with OLG for nearly 30 years. They said they played their own numbers for about 12 years before switching to Quick Picks.

The pair checked their ticket online and discovered their big win. “We had to do a double take and checked the ticket about four times to be sure! We were in shock and disbelief,” they said.

Scott and Wanda’s family members were surprised and excited to hear the news of the siblings’ windfall.

“This win is a blessing and will help us with our future,” Scott and Wanda 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.

The winning ticket was purchased at Becker’s on Steeles Avenue East in Milton.
