Gautreau, 60, who plays the lottery weekly says this is her first major win.

She checked her ticket using the OLG app.

"It was pretty dark, so I had to scan it a few times to see if it was real. Then I checked OLG.ca to confirm what I was seeing," she said. "I went right to the store to validate the ticket – it was so fun.”

She says her son was the first person she told.

"He couldn't believe it and is beyond happy for me.”

She plans to pay some bills, take a trip in the winter, and treat her family to a nice dinner.

The winning ticket was purchased at the CNIB Kiosk in Walmart on Chemong Road in Peterborough
