Meaghan Maloney and Ryan Desjardins of Port McNicoll are celebrating after winning a WINTARIO50 prize worth $50,000 in the August 14, 2025 draw.
The couple said they’ve been playing the lottery together for about six years. After dropping their daughters off at camp, they remembered to check their tickets using the OLG app.
They had to double-check their winning ticket a couple of times before believing it was real. Then they started jumping up and down and hugging each other.
Meaghan and Ryan said they waited until their daughters were home from camp to share the exciting news. “There was lots of screaming,” Meaghan said with a laugh. “It’s pretty cool,” Ryan added.
They plan to put their win toward renovating their kitchen.
To celebrate OLG’s 50th anniversary and commemorate its very first lottery game, WINTARIO, OLG introduced WINTARIO50. This limited-time, raffle-style lottery game was available until the one-time draw on August 14, 2025. WINTARIO50 offered one play for $5 or three plays for $10 and included 100 Guaranteed Top Prizes of $50,000. Click here for more information about WINTARIO 50.
The winning ticket was purchased at Esso on Highway 27 in Phelpston.
