Toronto Siblings Win $75 Million Lotto Max, First Brother‑Sister Jackpot in OLG History

The pair told the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation they plan to use the prize to care for family, pay for their children’s education, buy land for a large home and travel.

Overview

  • The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation confirmed that Toronto siblings Jonathan R. and Mylene P. won the $75 million Lotto Max prize from the March 3, 2026 draw.
  • OLG said this is the first time a brother‑sister pairing has won a major jackpot with the corporation.
  • Jonathan discovered the win early by scanning their ticket on the OLG app and initially thought it was a much smaller prize before realizing it was $75 million.
  • The siblings, who have played together for nearly two years and pick numbers tied to family milestones, say they will prioritize caring for parents, funding their children’s education, buying land to build a multigenerational home and travelling.
  • Their winning ticket was purchased at Drewry’s Variety on Drewry Avenue in North York, and OLG released the winners’ first names and city while withholding full surnames in its public notice.
