Toronto Man Wins $68 Million Lotto 6/49 Jackpot, Plans to Keep Working

Toronto resident Noel Patricio is celebrating his birthday and a life-changing Lotto 6/49 win.

Winning $68 million in the Gold Ball Draw on September 27, 2023, Patricio, a dedicated housekeeping worker, expressed his love for his job and colleagues at the OLG Prize Centre.

Despite the multimillion-dollar prize, Patricio intends to continue working while enjoying his newfound wealth. He bought the ticket during a work break and discovered his win using the OLG app. Initially thinking he won $68,000, he realized the grand prize, leading to disbelief and multiple ticket checks throughout the workday.

Taking his time before claiming the prize, Patricio plans to renovate his home, travel to Italy with his sisters, attend live tennis matches, and get season tickets for the Toronto Raptors. The immigrant from Canada with a suitcase and a few dollars expressed gratitude for the incredible journey.
