Kyle Dallman, 37, from Russell has won the October 21 LOTTO MAX draw worth $1,000,000. The occasional lottery player says he only buys tickets when the jackpots are high but didn’t think he won that big at first.

« I checked my ticket a few days after the draw on the OLG App. I saw the Big Winner screen and thought I won $1,000 at first,”

Dallman said. “I took a second look, and I was so happy and filled with joy and excitement.”

« I want to buy a new vehicle, buy a boat and pay off our mortgage. The rest will be invested for the future, » he said. « I wish there was a way to explain how incredible I feel. I keep saying ‘Thank you’ out loud to no one.”

The winning ticket was purchased at Shell Select on Prince of Wales Drive in Ottawa.
