“I decided to check our ticket on the OLG App, and I heard the winning music play,” Mckinson told OLG.
“I looked at the screen and thought we won $94 – but when I took a closer look I realized we won $94,468! I sent Antonio and Kenneth a picture of the ticket to double check.”
Turns out Dolbel didn’t find out until a day later.
“I didn’t see the message until the next day when Antonio called me and told me to check my texts,” Dolbel told OLG.
“I just give Kiplyn $2 every week so we can play together. I never expected to win!”
Added Lanzillotta to OLG: “I thought it was a joke. But when I checked the numbers online, I knew it was true!”
Mckinson and Lanzilllota both plan to do home renovations while Lanzillotta and Dolbel plan to share their windfall with their children and Dolbel also wants to get a TV for his basement.
The winning ticket was purchased at Quick Pick Convenience on Sandalwood Parkway in Brampton.
