Donald Dique of Huntsville is celebrating after winning a WINTARIO50 prize worth $50,000 in the August 14, 2025 draw.
The 63-year-old retiree said he’s been playing the lottery for over 20 years, and this is his first major win. “I usually play LOTTO MAX, but I decided to try this game out since it was a special draw,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.
Donald found out about his big win while checking his tickets at the store. “I said, ‘Oh, wow! This is real!’ It was so exciting,” he recalled with a smile.
He shared the news with his two daughters, who couldn’t believe it either. “They were so surprised and happy for me.”
With his windfall, Donald plans to save for the future.
