Millar is a regular lottery ticket buyer, who says he’s been playing for 35 years.
This is his first big win.
“I was playing my ticket at home and saw that I won. I couldn’t believe it, so I scanned the ticket using the OLG app,” he said in the release. “It said $75,000 – so I took it to the store to make sure. After getting the validation slip and speaking with OLG, I felt pretty good!”
