Toronto, ON – The LOTTO MAX odds have shone in favour of Eric and Nicole True of Stittsville! They won a MAXMILLIONS prize worth $1 million in the October 4, 2022 LOTTO MAX draw.
Eric and Nicole, a married couple, said they play the lottery when the jackpot is big. Eric says he went grocery shopping when he decided to check their ticket. “I thought something was wrong. I had to confirm the win at another store to believe it. I was very surprised,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
Eric and Nicole told their children and grandchildren about the win. “They’re excited for us,” Nicole smiled. “This will make such a difference in our life.”
They plan to share their winnings with their children.
