Jason Marquardt of Guelph can realize his dreams after winning $500,000 in the June 11, 2021, Lotto Max draw. Jason shared a $1 million MaxMillions prize with another ticket.
Jason, 34, said he like to play the lottery when the jackpot is high. “I checked my ticket using the OLG Lottery App. When I saw $500,000 – I was in complete shock!”
Jason said this gives him more freedom. “It feels amazing. I’m going to put it away for my future and a trip.”
