A Hamilton man who just picked up $1 million from OLG says he’ll likely be looking at cars and a trip to visit family after his Maxmillions win.
Donald Oliphant, who says he’s a great grandfather, has been playing the lottery for about four years now and this is his “first big win.”
“I play twice a week,” said Oliphant.
“I was excited when I thought I won $1,000. After I did some paperwork, OLG called me and told me I won $1 million.”
He says he will generally be sharing the money with all his children and potentially some on a new vehicle.
“I might treat myself to a new car and consider a trip to visit family,” Oliphant said.
