Lottery games have the potential to change someone’s life for the better in a matter of seconds. This has been the case for the Kirkland Lake resident Grover Adams, who has just claimed his major prize from the Lotto Max game. The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation reported that the 60-year-old lotto fan is the winner of the CA$15 million jackpot.
Mr. Adams joins the list of lottery millionaires as the fan-favorite games of Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max have already generously awarded many Canadians this year.

Fate has certainly smiled upon the 60-year-old Mr. Adams who has been lucky enough to be drawn as the winner of the Lotto Max jackpot. The draw from April 20, has awarded the Northern Ontario resident with the unique possibility to retire early thanks to the CA$15 million grand prize from the draw-based game.
After arriving at a Crown agency’s office to claim his hefty reward, the winner has shared more on how he found out and how he will spend the money. Mr. Adams stated that his heart started racing after scanning the ticket a few times just to make sure that the said amount of money was right.
