Maryanne Fullerton and Robert Fullerton of North Bay have that “6/49 feeling” after winning a LOTTO 6/49 second prize worth $96,725.80 in the December 15, 2021 LOTTO 6/49 draw. They also won $2 on their ENCORE selection, bringing their total winnings to $96,727.80!
Maryanne, a floral designer and mother of two, says she has only ever won smaller prizes before this win. “I’ve never won anything this large. I was in disbelief and joy,” she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up their winnings.
Maryanne checked the ticket using the OLG App when she realized she had a winning ticket. “I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest,” she smiled.
Maryanne plans to put her winnings away for retirement. “I will indulge a little bit too,” she concluded.
