Ontario lottery winner had the most anticlimactic reaction after scoring $1 million Ontario Lottery
It has got to be difficult to find the words during a life-changing moment, and one recent lottery winner seems to have temporarily transformed into 1990s-era Keanu Reeves upon discovering she had won $1 million.
Patricia Shibley of King City won the big MAXMILLIONS prize in the Oct. 11 draw, purchasing her winning ticket at Rita's Shell on Yonge Street in East Gwillimbury. The retiree plays the lottery often, telling the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation that"I love LOTTO MAX – and I always choose my own numbers," while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect her winnings.
Shibley's dedication paid off when she discovered her win while checking her ticket at the store, describing a surprisingly mild reaction to the OLG, saying that"I saw a lot of zeroes and thought, whoa that's cool!", please take a moment and try again. While her reaction may look a bit lukewarm in print, Shibley says the win left her feeling"so grateful and just fantastic!""She is very happy for me now," said Shibley.Toronto's bloated real estate marketHer million-dollar prize adds to the over $7.5 billion in winnings doled out to LOTTO MAX players in Ontario since 2009, including 95 jackpot draws and 842 MAXMILLIONS prizes.
