TORONTO – Natalie Campbell of Alliston is celebrating after winning a MERRY MILLIONS prize worth $50,000 in the Jan. 9, 2024 draw.
Natalie, 51, says she has been a regular lottery player since she moved to Ontario about 25 years ago. "My favourite games are LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49. I decided to try MERRY MILLIONS because it’s new," she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her windfall.
The public service worker checked her tickets on the OLG app when she discovered her win. "I hadn't had my coffee yet so I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I told my husband to look at the ticket and we high-fived and celebrated together over coffee," Natalie smiled. "I was so distracted all day – it was hard to focus my mind!"
She plans to put her win toward bills, treat herself to a trip and a new golf bag, and share with her husband.
“I have a bottle of wine I’ve been saving for a special occasion, and I think this is it!” she concluded.
MERRY MILLIONS is a great new limited-time OLG lottery game available for $20 from Nov. 21, 2023, to Jan. 9, 2024, featuring three $1 million guaranteed Top Prizes, three $50,000 Early Bird prizes, plus 402 additional prizes between $1,000 and $250,000
The winning ticket was purchased at Banting Convenience on Victoria Street in Alliston.
OLG supports safe play and wants to keep the fun in the game. That’s why OLG is proud to be a leader in promoting responsible gambling with our globally recognized PlaySmart program.
