A Windsor caregiver plans to give herself a break after winning the $5-million LOTTO 6/49 jackpot.
Connie Martin, 58, of Windsor won the draw on October 24.
“I enjoy playing LOTTO 6/49, LOTTARIO, and DAILY GRAND,” Connie said while claiming her winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
She discovered her windfall after checking her ticket on the OLG Lottery App.
“I remember thinking, 'oh my, it really is real!'” she laughed. “I was in complete shock! I don’t think I slept all night!”
Martin plans on buying a house and a car and do some travelling.
“The remainder, I’ll put into my savings so that it will last the rest of my life,” Martin adds. “It’s just life-changing. It means I can relax and not have to worry about a lot of things anymore.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart on Wyandotte Street in Windsor.
