Jonathan and Mylene, a brother and sister from Toronto, have won the $75 million Lotto Max jackpot for the March 3, 2026 draw. The pair initially believed their winnings were only $75,000.

Shock and disbelief

“At first, I thought we won $75,000,” Jonathan said, according to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). The siblings checked their ticket multiple times before realizing the true magnitude of their prize.

The winning ticket was purchased at a convenience store in Toronto. OLG confirmed the jackpot as the largest ever won by siblings in the province.

“We’re still processing it,” Mylene added. “It doesn’t feel real.”
