Lottery Win Maberly Supplied
A Maberly man is planning new adventures after a major lottery win.
Elmo C. of Maberly won $100,000 with a MAXPLUS prize in the May 19, 2026, LOTTO MAX draw.
The 78-year-old longtime lottery player said he enjoys playing several OLG games, including LOTTO MAX, LOTTO 6/49 and DAILY GRAND. He uses the Quick Pick feature to choose his numbers.
Elmo found out about the big win while checking his ticket at a store. He said the screen lit up and showed the prize amount, leaving him stunned.
He told OLG he could not believe what he was seeing. He then asked the store clerk to check the ticket again, and the clerk confirmed he had won $100,000.
Elmo later picked up his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
He said the first person he told was his wife, who did not believe the news at first.
The win gives the Maberly man a chance to put money toward some long-held plans. Elmo said he hopes to buy an RV for camping and also complete some home repairs.
The winning ticket was purchased at Sharbot Lake Gas & General Store on Highway 7 in Sharbot Lake.
For Elmo, the surprise win means more freedom, some practical improvements at home and the chance to enjoy the outdoors in a new way.
