TORONTO – The Lotto Max odds have shone in favour of Michel Bujold of St. Catharines! Michel had the winning ticket for a MaxMillions prize worth $1 million from the June 22, 2021 Lotto Max draw.
Michel said he is a regular Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 player. “I always pick my own numbers. I chose the numbers that feel right to me in the moment,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I saw Big Winner $1 million and couldn’t believe it at first!”
The 48-year-old construction worker said he was so excited that he couldn’t sleep that night. “I work hard every day and to have this gift is really something else,” he said.
Michel plans to take some time to think about investments for his future and may purchase a new car.
