Devin, a self-described cat dad, has been a regular lottery player with OLG for the past two years. His lottery journey began when he downloaded the OLG app and created an account on OLG.ca. Devin likes to use OLG’s Quick Pick feature to make his selections. He is now celebrating his first big win, which came from a LOTTO 6/49 Free Play ticket he won the week prior. He is thrilled to embrace his new status as a millionaire!
“For so long, I’ve dreamt of receiving this kind of email from OLG,” said Devin, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall. “It was early morning when I noticed the email, and I started shaking like a leaf! Immediately, I tried to log into my OLG.ca account, but my hands were shaking so much that it took a few attempts,” he laughed.
“I had to count the zeros, and when I realized I had won $1 million, I was elated! I started saying, ‘I won! Holy cow! I won!’ I was living the moment I’d dreamt of so many times,” Devin smiled. “My girlfriend heard me and couldn’t believe it. I had to show her the email several times for it to sink in. It was such an unreal moment.”
Devin expressed just how much this win means for him and his future. “This is a dream come true and a crazy experience. I’m very thankful, as this means I have a chance for a fresh start. I want to invest and go back to school to study for a new career. I will also enjoy a relaxing beach vacation and start planning an international adventure,” he concluded.
The winning ticket was purchased on OLG.ca.
