A food industry worker from Chatham has a lot to celebrate after winning $1 million on Lotto Max last month.
Dwayne Willder had a winning ticket for a Max Millions prize from the June 8 Lotto Max draw.
According to Willder, he decided to purchase an extra $10 worth of tickets on a whim.
"I honestly couldn't believe it," he said. "I checked my ticket using the OLG Lottery App and my wife came to look for herself when she heard the noise on my phone. I had to double-check on OLG.ca because I was in denial."
Willder described the win as being an unexpected and overwhelming experience.
"We've always put our money towards our house and children," he said. "Now we can really enjoy a future focused on us."
The winning ticket was purchased at Charlie's Variety Store on Park Avenue in Chatham.
