OLG says Arthur collected his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
He plans to share the money with his children and grandchildren, invest for the future and help give his daughter her dream wedding.
“It feels good to win big,” he said. “I told my boss I’m retiring in August.”
According to OLG, the winning ticket was purchased at Avondale on Killaly Street East in Port Colborne.
OLG says Lotto Max players in Ontario have won more than $9.9 billion since 2009, including 123 jackpot wins and 1,003 MaxMillions prizes.
