Lyudmila Lazareva of Bradford can ‘find her possible’ after winning a Lotto 6/49 second prize worth $85,534.20 in the June 22, 2024 Lotto 6/49 draw.
Lyudmila, a retired mother and grandmother, has been playing the lottery with OLG for decades. Her favourite games include Daily Grand, Lotto Max, and of course, Lotto 6/49. It was a Free Play ticket that has her celebrating her first big win.
“It was late evening when I checked my ticket on the OLG app. When I saw the prize amount, I felt my blood pressure start to rise,” said Lyudmila, while visiting the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “My husband was sleeping next to me. Frantic, I woke him up saying, ‘Oh. Mamma Mia,’ over and over again,” she laughed.
“I’m overwhelmed and happy. I feel so many emotions at once,” Lyudmila smiled. “I plan on sharing this win with my family. They mean the world to me,” she concluded.
Lotto 6/49 offers players a chance to win two multimillion-dollar jackpots every Wednesday and Saturday, for the same $3 per play.
The Classic Draw offers a fixed $5-million jackpot for every draw, while the Gold Ball Draw guarantees a $1-million prize, or the growing jackpot that starts at $10 million and can exceed $60 million. Click here for more information about the new Lotto 6/49.
