Lotto Max Winner, An Oshawa couple now has 50 million reasons to celebrate on Saturday after striking it rich in Ontario’s Lotto Max jackpot.

Don and Linda Ingram are the lucky winners of $50 million. The draw took place Friday night.

Linda, who buys her ticket every week from the same convenience store, said she “freaked” when her ticket came up a winner.

“I gave them my ticket and checked it and it came up a big winner and I’m likeā€¦I freaked,” Linda told CTV Toronto. “I’m jumping up and down and screaming.”

The Ingrams, who have been married for 30 years, have been cooks at a local restaurant for 15 years.

“I wish them the best of luck,” the owner of Wally’s World restaurant Wally Elawar said. “And I don’t know if I’m going to lose a couple of employees right now.”

The Ingrams, who live in an apartment building in Oshawa, have been struggling to pay bills due to Don’s health issues, friends say.

“People who need it, got it,” friend John Davidson said. “Which is kinda nice for a change.”

The now multi-millionaire grandparents say they are eager to enjoy their winnings.

“It’s about time we got a chance to live a comfortable life,” Don said. “And make everybody else happy too.”
