TORONTO – The LOTTO MAX odds have shone in favour of Roberta Davidson of Washago! She had the winning ticket for a MAXMILLIONS prize worth $1 million from the June 18, 2021 LOTTO MAX draw.
Davidson is a regular lottery player with her favourite game being LOTTO MAX. "I purchased this ticket when the jackpot was at $70 million," she shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her cheque.
Davidson, a retired retail worker, checked her ticket while at the store.

The mother and grandmother plans to travel when it's safe. "I will also invest some and upgrade my vehicle," she smiled.
