TORONTO – Lucy Andrade-Moreira of Cambridge and Mirjana Bajic of Breslau won “Ontario’s jackpot” – $528,190.40 in the May 29, 2021 LOTTARIO draw. They also won $8 on another other LOTTARIO selections and $7 on their ENCORE selections, bringing their total winnings to $528,205.40!  

Lucy, 58, and Mirjana, 52, work friends, have been playing the lottery together since 2015. "We enjoy playing LOTTARIO and LOTTO MAX together. We each pick our own numbers."  

Lucy says she checked the ticket using the OLG Lottery App and called Mirjana right away when she discovered they were big winners. "I was so excited. Mirjana thought I was joking!"  

Lucy and Mirjana, both mothers of two sons, told their families about their big win. "We feel excellent. It is a relief!"  

The pair don't have plans yet for their winnings. "This is a perfect safety net for retirement," Mirjana said.  

"I am happy and healthy, and I don't need anything. I am going to save it," concluded Lucy.
