Frances Bruyns of Nobel has $80,754.80 to put toward her dreams after winning a LOTTO MAX second prize in the January 17, 2023 draw.
Frances, a registered nurse, says she plays the lottery on and off. “I play a variety of different games, and this is my biggest win,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.
The 55-year-old mother of four and grandmother of three lost her ticket and found it one day while cleaning. “I checked it a few times on the OLG app and then I brought it to the store,” she recalls. “I was in shock!”
Frances shared the news about her win with her husband and siblings. “It was a lot of shock and excitement,” she said. “I am happy. This prize will be helpful.”
She plans to put her win toward home renovations and a vacation. “I’ll also put some in the bank,” she concluded.
