The married couple of 45 years discovered their win while watching the news.

“We only play Lotto 6/49,” said Gary while collecting the winnings. “This is our first big win.”

He purchased his lottery ticket at Tom’s Variety on Kent Street in Lindsay after seeing an advertisement for the jackpot.

“I was watching the news and saw that someone in our community had a winning ticket,” explained Gary. “I was at home when I compared our numbers to the winning numbers on OLG.ca and noticed they matched. I can’t even tell you how many times we looked at this ticket and thought something must be wrong.”

Karry called her daughter immediately after discovering the couple’s win.

“We called our daughter right away. She could tell by my voice that something was up,” exclaimed Karry. “She was just as shocked as we were.”

The couple said winning the lottery was a surreal moment and still in disbelief.

“It’s still hard to imagine this is where we are,” said Gary.

“We’re just regular Kraft dinner and fried bologna people,” laughed Karry.
