She was notified by e-mail about her win.

“I logged into my OLG.ca account and thought it said I had won $500,” she said. “Then, I noticed the additional zeros. I felt like I was dreaming and got up to get my glasses so I could see better,” she laughed. “Even then, I didn’t believe it! I asked my family to review the email, and my OLG.ca account. Once we were all convinced the win was real, we were so excited!”

Martini-Dunk has been playing the lottery with OLG for the past few years, with Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 as her preferred games.

“This win feels like freedom. It feels like a gift and a blessing. My heart is full of gratitude,” she said. “I’ll put the rest aside as I figure out my next steps. I may travel and complete some home renovations.”

The winning ticket was purchased on OLG.ca.
