Brother and Sister From Toronto Score $75M Lotto Max Prize Together
Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says the siblings are the first brother-sister pair to win a major jackpot, and they plan to support their families.
Toronto siblings Jonathan and Mylene became the first brother-sister duo to win a major OLG jackpot, claiming $75 million from the March 3, 2026, LOTTO MAX draw announced on Tuesday.
