OLG recently welcomed David Forrest of Horton to their Prize Centre in Toronto to officially celebrate his August 13th Lotto Max win totaling just over $333,333.

Forrest, a local bus driver, says he’s been playing the lottery since the day of WINTARIO, adding that his first big OLG win feels “great and surreal.”

“I was enjoying a morning coffee with my wife when I decided to check my ticket on the OLG app,” David recalled. “I said, ‘Oh, look! I won $333 and 333 cents.’ I quickly realized that couldn’t be right. My wife took the phone and said, ‘You won $333,333!’ We stared at each other in disbelief. We were so shocked!”

He adds that “no matter who I told, everyone was so happy for me. People would say, “It couldn’t have happened to a better guy.'”

Forrest plans to travel, invest, and share the winnings with his family.
