Tyler Hynes of Roseneath has that “6/49 feeling” after winning a $100,000 LOTTO 6/49 Guaranteed Prize in the March 26, 2022 LOTTO 6/49 draw. LOTTO 6/49 offered a Super Draw on March 26, 2022, with 10 Guaranteed Prize Draws of $100,000 in addition to the main jackpot and the $1 Million Guaranteed Prize Draw.
Tyler, a 30-year-old who works in the construction industry, said he has been a regular lottery player for the past year. “I didn’t realize I had won until I logged into my OLG account to purchase my next tickets,” he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. “I saw a notification that said, ‘You’re a winner’ and when I clicked on it, I didn’t believe it. I went straight to my email and then saw an email saying, ‘You have big news from LOTTO 6/49.’”
When Tyler shared the news with his mom she was astounded. “She was ecstatic for me,” he said.
“Luckily it was a slow day at work because my win was all I could think about,” said Tyler, recalling his reaction to the big win. “I refreshed my email every two hours for a week to make sure it was real.”
He’s currently building a house and said this win will be a significant help.
