No joke — an Omemee resident has won more than $373,000 after winning the second prize in the LOTTO MAX draw on April 1.
Stephanie Tennant also won $20 on another one of her selections, bringing her total winnings to $373,138.20.
Tennant, 33, said when she saw an email that said she was a winner, she didn’t know if it was real.
“I was in disbelief,” she said.
“When I told my boyfriend and mom, they didn’t believe me because the draw was on April Fools’ Day!”
She said she can’t quiet describe the winning feeling.
“It’s unbelievable – dreams do come true.”
She plans to use her winnings toward a new car, a motorcycle and put some into her house.
The winning ticket was purchased online at OLG.ca.
