Toronto, ON – Nancy and Benoit L. of Windsor can “find their possible” after winning a LOTTO 6/49 prize worth $1 million in the Gold Ball Draw on April 11, 2026

The married parents of two were at home when Nancy checked their ticket on the OLG app.

“I was in total shock,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect their windfall. “I asked Benoit to verify what I was seeing, and he replied, ‘You won $1,000!’ When I told him to count the zeros, he asked, ‘Is this real? Are you playing a prank on me?’”

The couple said this win couldn’t have come at a better time, and their top priority is to support their sons. They plan to use their winnings to buy a new home and car.

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 Real Canadian Superstore on Dougall Avenue in Windsor.
