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.
