A Niagara Falls man is $63,048.40 richer!

David Giesbrecht won the second prize in the May 13th, 2023, Lotto 6/49 draw.

"It’s nice to have extra spending money," said the retiree, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his winnings. "This will provide more freedom. It means we’ll be able to take a few more vacations."
