An Ontario father won a major lottery prize, and he didn't even have to pay for the ticket.
Alliston resident Ronald O'Leary matched the last six of seven Encore numbers in the exact order in the July 29 Ontario 49 draw.In addition to Ontario 49, O'Leary enjoys playing Lotto Max and the occasional Instant ticket. He's previously won some smaller prizes, but this is his largest lottery win. "I won on a free ticket!" he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his windfall.
The retiree says he checked his lottery ticket on his computer and discovered that he beat the odds. Then, he headed to the store to validate his win and begin the prize-claiming process. "I shared the news with my children and brothers, and they were all so excited for me," said O’Leary.Other Canadians have had wholesome wins, too.
