A King City, Ont., man is celebrating after winning the $10 million jackpot from the May 29, 2026, Lotto Max draw. Brandon G. made the incredible discovery while attending a family member's baseball tournament.
G., who wishes to remain private, told officials that he initially thought he'd won $10,000 when he logged into his account, but upon closer inspection, he realized the enormity of his windfall. "I figured some of the emails were spam," he said, before discovering the life-changing news.
Despite his excitement, G. chose to keep his win to himself, sharing the news only with his partner in a private moment. "We were both in disbelief! It was exciting, but we knew it wouldn't feel real until the $10 million hit my bank account," he explained.
With his newfound fortune, G. plans to continue working but is looking to invest for the future. "I'm still young and have several more years before retirement, but this win gives me and my family a sense of security and peace of mind for the future," he said.
The winning ticket was purchased online, and G. is now looking forward to enjoying his winnings with his loved ones. Future plans include visiting baseball stadiums in the U.S. and taking a family trip to Italy or Greece. "This win will allow me to slow down a bit and spend more quality time with my family," he said.
For G., the lottery win is also a poignant reminder of a long-standing family tradition. "While it may seem like a small thing, it was always fun spending time together checking our tickets. My dad would have really enjoyed this win," he said, referencing a cherished memory with his late father.
