An Innisfil man is $125,000 richer after splitting the Aug. 31 Lottario jackpot.
James Stergios’s ticket was one of two that split the $250,000 jackpot. It’s his first big win after playing the lottery with OLG for 45 years.
“It was morning when I decided to check my tickets on the OLG app. When I got to this Lottario ticket, I thought the message said I had won $1.25. I did a double take and saw that I had actually won $125,000,” he said in a news release. “I was pleasantly surprised. The feeling was different from anything I had ever experienced before.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Gateway Casinos Innisfil on 5th Side Road.
