Mary, 69, said she plays the lottery whenever she can. “I bought this ticket randomly,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “I checked my tickets while at the store and thought the machine was broken!”
Mary said she shared the good news with her family, and no one could believe it. “I couldn’t sleep that night,” she said.
She plans to take a trip to the states when it’s safe to travel again and celebrate with a small family dinner.
