Stephen Brown of Queensville can realize his dreams after winning $500,000 in the June 11, 2021 Lotto Max draw. Stephen shared a $1 million MaxMillions prize with another ticket.
Stephen, 48, said it was a Sunday morning when he discovered his win while using the OLG Lottery App.
“When I saw Big Winner, I didn’t believe it at first. I went into the house to tell my wife and she thought it was unbelievable – I’m still in shock!”
He plans to invest his winnings and pay bills.
“I’m also going to put some aside for travel when it’s safe again. We want to take our kids back home to Ireland to show them where I’m from and visit with family.”
