The Lotto Max odds have shone in favour of Dwayne Willder of Chatham.
Willder had the winning ticket for a Maxmillions prize worth $1-million from the June 8, 2021 Lotto Max draw.
Willder , a food industry worker, says he decided to purchase an extra $10 worth of tickets on a whim and that was what led him to win his prize.
“I honestly couldn’t believe it,” he said in a media release.
“I checked my ticket using the OLG Lottery App and my wife came to look for herself when she heard the noise on my phone. I had to double check on OLG.ca because I was in denial.”
“It’s very unexpected and overwhelming,” he added.
“The support from friends has been amazing. I’ve heard a lot of nice words from them. We’ve always put our money towards our house and children. Now we can really enjoy a future focused on us.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Charlie’s Variety Store on Park Avenue in Chatham.
