The Lotto Max odds have shone in favour of Andre Harris of Barrie! He won a MaxMillions prize worth $1 million in the March 25, 2022, Lotto Max draw.

The 37-year-old father says he discovered his big win on a Sunday. "I was enjoying my ‘rest day’ when something told me to check my ticket. I went out to my car where I left my ticket and scanned it. Just like that I found out I was a millionaire!” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings.

Andre shared the big news with his friend and brother right away. "I'm so excited and happy," he smiled.

He plans to invest his win. "I would also love to bring my mom from Jamaica here for a visit," he concluded.
