Jeffery and Natalie Boyle of Belle River won $500,000 with LOTTO MAX MAXMILLIONS in the March 18, 2016 draw.

“It’s the luck of the Irish,” joked Jeffery while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where the couple picked up their winnings. “Seventeen is my luck number and we purchased our winning ticket on St. Patrick’s Day.”

Natalie recalled speaking with her mom on the phone when Jeffery arrived with the good news. “He was pale and he told me to hang up the phone. He said, ‘I think we just won a half a million dollars.’ I screamed and jumped around. Our two young kids started to copy me.”

The couple plans to save for their children’s education, buy a van and pay off their mortgage. “We feel very happy and relieved. This takes a lot of stress away. Winning the lottery is unbelievable. Our first words were, ‘What are the odds?’” concluded the pair.

The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on Wildwood Drive in Windsor.
