Alan, a 62-year-old married dad of two, found his win early one morning. “I examined my numbers on OLG.ca and was wishing for a free ticket then needed to do a double take,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to get his cheque. “I could not think my eyes– I was stunned and had to try not to wake up my family,” he chuckled.
