Hamilton lotto winner eyeing new car, trip following $1-million win

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.

He also won $2 on an Encore selection, bringing his total winnings to $1,000,002.

The winning ticket was purchased at Big Bee Convenience on Barton Street in Hamilton.
