Ontario Woman Becomes CA$22 million Richer with Lotto Max Win
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation has announced yet another impressive Lotto Max jackpot win in the province. A fortunate woman from Kingston struck gold with a massive CA$22 million win in the June 9, 2023, draw of the beloved game. The extraordinary news reached her while she was on vacation, receiving a notification from OLG about her incredible fortune.
Lotto Max, drawn twice weekly, is a popular lottery choice in Canada, with its main prize reaching an impressive CA$70 million. Additionally, once the jackpot surpasses the CA$50 million mark, Maxmillion prizes of CA$1 million each are also up for grabs.
The winner, Laurie Scott, arrived at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her remarkable CA$22 million windfall from the June 9 Lotto Max draw. Learning about her win during her vacation through her OLG subscription, Ms. Scott received an email from the Crown notifying her of the good news. Unable to access her OLG account outside of Ontario, she contacted the Crown's agents for confirmation. It wasn't until she returned home and logged into the app that she confirmed her new status as a CA$22 million jackpot winner.
Ms. Scott expressed gratitude that she didn't know about the win during her vacation, as it allowed her to fully enjoy the trip without distractions. Overwhelmed with joy and shock, she shared the amazing news with her family during a video call.
The fortunate winner plans to use her newfound wealth to renovate her home, travel the world, and make charitable donations close to her heart.
The Lotto Max has been a source of immense luck for Ontarians, with several others also experiencing significant windfalls. Last year, 83-year-old Vera Page from Vankleek Hill claimed an astounding CA$60 million prize, while a family of six from Toronto and Ottawa shared a Maxmillion prize of CA$500,000 in an earlier drawing.
Our Conclusion
Players should be aware that playing for the jackpot might not be a viable strategy, given the extremely low probability of winning – lower even than the likelihood of dying in a plane crash. Engaging in such gameplay could be seen as a wasteful use of funds with minimal chances of success.

BrianTheZealous Wow, I used to play at Goldwin all the time. It’s really concerning to hear about these breaches. Definitely withdrawing my funds ASAP!
CarolThePassionate Powerful drifts!
edwardadams0c Oh, and Chests of Cai Shen made me happy! Yesterday I made a good profit on bonus coins, almost x200 of the bet.
ChristopherTheSerene This giveaway seems more like a scam than a treat. It’s frustrating that they promote these contests without mentioning the reduced RTP. Players deserve better transparency!
SharonTheCrazy Another ‘lucky’ winner? With the RTP capped at 90%, I’d be surprised if anyone actually comes out ahead in the long run. This just feels like a marketing ploy.
KevinTheGracious This is a good step in the right direction, but I honestly think it’s not enough. Gambling ads are everywhere, especially on social media. The addiction warnings are helpful, but what about banning these ads altogether? It worked for cigarettes, so why not gambling?
WilliamTheTenacious Damn, where to play now? Deception everywhere!
LewisKimberly1 Well, the developers did a great job, no doubt. You can tell they put in the effort. But this whole RTP thing is really annoying! Why should you have to check the percentages before every game? Is that a new gimmick to rip off players?
PaulTheBully RTP is that thing you only start thinking about after you've lost half your salary. Be careful, friends!
LewisMichelle2 Either the generator is slow, or they have someone there with a "don't let me win" button. Who else is so "lucky"?
EvansBarbaraNixon What nonsense? I played this Book of Dead a hundred times, won normally. You are scaring me with these lowered RTP, but I really raised in this slot. Don't fall for it, guys, all this crap about 70%
johnhill7u I honestly thought VegasLowRoller was just teaching how to play safely...
Parkernancy Guys, has anyone played AllSpins? How is it anyway?
