“Matthew bought this ticket for me – I love instant tickets and the surprise of winning,” Donna said in a media release issued by the Ontario Lottery Corporation. “When I matched the number 21, I thought this can’t be right. I scanned the ticket and Big Winner appeared. I turned to show my husband – he said, ‘Are you kidding me?’”

The couple told OLG officials they plan to pay off their mortgage and use the remainder for ‘fun things’.

“We’re going to buy a smoker barbecue and some other fun things for around the house,” Donna said.

“It’s a great feeling – I slept really well that night,” she added.
