“I decided to try Daily Grand this week,” he said while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “This is my first big win.”

Todoric, a retiree, checked his ticket using the OLG app when he discovered he was a winner.

“I was shocked I had to scan it 10 times to be sure it was true. I showed my family right away and they didn’t believe it either. These things don’t happen to us.”

The father and grandfather plans to share his win with his family.

“This win is all about my wife. I want to ensure we have a comfortable retirement. I will also treat our daughters to something special.”
