TORONTO, ON – Life is a little more “grand” for Lance Engelbrecht of Toronto. He matched all five main numbers to win a second prize of $25,000 a year for life with DAILY GRAND in the October 2, 2025 draw. Lance opted for the lump sum payment of $500,000.

Lance, who works in the engineering industry, has been playing the lottery with OLG for many years. He enjoys a variety of games, including DAILY GRAND, LOTTO MAX, and LOTTO 6/49.  

“This is a bit surreal,” said Lance of his win, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto. “I’ve never won anything this big! I think it’ll be a while before it sinks in.”

The 57-year-old said he plans to invest his windfall. “We’ll also put it toward some renovations, and we already had a vacation planned,” he concluded.

DAILY GRAND is a national lottery game with a top prize of $1,000 a day for life for matching the five main numbers plus the Grand Number. The second prize is $25,000 a year for life for matching the five main numbers. DAILY GRAND is $3 per play and draws take place on Mondays and Thursdays.

The winning ticket was purchased at Petro-Canada on Jarvis Street in Toronto.
