Someone in Ontario is holding a winning lottery ticket worth $65 million.
Ontario lottery officials say the winning ticket for Friday’s Lotto Max draw was sold in Newmarket.
There was one Maxmillion winning ticket worth $1 million and one winning ticket worth over $265,000, which went to a ticket bearing six of the seven numbers plus the bonus number.
The winning numbers in Friday’s draw were 7, 13, 33, 40, 44, 49, 50 and the bonus number 32.


It marks the fourth consecutive big-money jackpot to be won in Ontario this year.
The first was a $60 million jackpot won by five co-workers from the GTA on January 21, followed by a $25 million jackpot won by an 81-year-old officer of the Order of Canada on January 31 and a $40 million dollar jackpot won by a ticket purchased in Oshawa last month.
“In 2024, there were a record-breaking 11 jackpot wins in Ontario, totaling $525 million in Lotto Max jackpot prizing!” lottery officials said in a release.

You can claim the prize as one lump sum, which is foolish, because you won't get the full $65M (more like $50M) and you'll end up spending it all at once. It's best to opt for the money to be paid out as an annuity. You'll get the $65M over a period of 20 years ($3.25M per year), and you'll manage your money a lot smarter. Too many lottery jackpot winners suffer from bad money management and end up bankrupt.

At my current age, I would take it all in one lump sum and give the Money to my Money manager to invest.
Have 10 million in my regular account, that's the money I would use for taking care of Family, properties, and Fun money.
The rest goes into investments.

This is an break down of what I would do if I won the 65 million.
If I had 10 million in my account I would not tell anyone.

But thank you for the concern. I definitely would not share financial information.

Right, but that doesn’t mean the winner doesn’t receive the full prize of $65m

Damn, you can buy an agency or invest on a spa and use the residual income to feed the homeless. I would definitely get mail orders brides.
