“I’ve been playing Lotto 6/49 since it came out,” said Pinnie. “I put together an Excel sheet with all the winning numbers and analyze the data to pick the most common numbers.”

He purchased his winning ticket at Loblaws on Kent Street in Lindsay.

The Kirkfield construction worker was in disbelief when he checked his winning numbers on the OLG app.

“I heard the winning jingle and I didn't believe it,” explained Pinnie. “I showed my partner and her eyes opened wide and she said, ‘No way!’”

Rendall says he’ll use the winnings to pay off some bills and get new furniture for his house.

“I will invest the rest,” he said. “This money (is) going to do so much for me," he said.
