Kingston, Ont. Man Claims Record $75M Lottery Prize

David Hatt is Ontario’s largest Lotto Max winner and plans to support his family and vulnerable community members with the $75 million prize, officials said.

  • On Aug. 19, 2025, David Hatt, a Kingston, Ont. resident and father of two, won the $75 million Lotto Max jackpot, which OLG says is Ontario's largest Lotto Max prize.
  • The night before the draw, Hatt purchased a Lotto Max Quick Pick at Pioneer/Snack Express on Bath Road and discovered the result the next morning on the OLG app in a drive‑thru line for morning coffee.
  • At first, he thought he had won $75,000, then rushed home and told his wife `Is that $75 million?` after checking the OLG app.
  • He has assembled a team of professionals to manage the money and aims for a generational impact, planning to buy a dream home, travel Europe's small towns and countryside, and help seniors and children in the local community.
  • Nationally, the $75 million places Hatt among Canada’s biggest winners at the OLG Winner Celebration in Toronto Thursday.
