Elizabeth MacGillivray of Aurora has that “6/49 feeling” after winning a LOTTO 6/49 second prize worth $58,070.10 in the April 6, 2022 LOTTO 6/49 draw.
Elizabeth, a retired financial industry worker, says she has been playing the lottery regularly for decades. "I've been playing more these past two years," she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her big cheque. "I was at the store using the ticket checker when I found out I won. I thought it was crazy. I never win anything!"
Elizabeth went home to share the good news about her win with her husband. "I told him I won the lottery, and he was so happy for me!"
She plans to pay off her mortgage with her winnings. “I will be mortgage free!” she smiled.
