A Thunder Bay couple has an extra $980,000 in the bank.
OLG announced Thursday morning that local couple Allan Maki and Darlene Maki snagged $983,016 in the Jan. 221 Lottario draw.
“I thought the self-checker was broken when I scanned the ticket,” Darlene is quoted saying in an OLG news release. “I took it to a nearby retailer to check it once more, and that’s when I realized we were big winners.”
The couple has been married for 37 years now.
They plan to share their winnings with family, pay off bills, take a vacation and put the rest away into their savings.
The winning ticket was purchased at Teraz Express on Fort William Road in Thunder Bay.
