A 66-year-old Toronto woman who has occasionally played the lottery over the last few years plans to buy a new house, a new car and hopes to travel after hitting the jackpot.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. said Monday that North York resident Xiaomin Han, a mother and grandmother, won $10,600,885.60 in the Sept. 10, 2022, Lotto 6/49 draw.

Han told the OLG that she didn’t initially believe she had won, saying she was “a little skeptical.”

“I couldn’t believe the number in front of me, so I called my sister to have her verify it was real,” she said.

“I feel calm, but excited to be a winner.”
