“I’m a regular Lotto Max and 6/49 player,” shared Palmerino, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his cheque. “I decided to play Poker Lotto on a whim, and I’m very happy I did.”

Palmerino, a waste management worker, says his win will go a long way in helping his kids through university. “I also plan to buy them a car, so they don’t have to borrow mine.”
OLG is now accepting in-person prize claims by appointment only for customers with prizes of $1,000 or more who wish to claim at the OLG Prize Centre.
