       A Kanata couple is Ottawa's newest millionaire, after winning a $5
       million lottery jackpot.
        
       Donna Rathwell and Norman Hewitt won the Lotto 6/49 Classic Jackpot
       during the March 20 draw.
        
       The couple told OLG that they have been playing the lottery together
       for more than 30 years.
        
       "Norm never believed we would win, but I always told him, we have to
       have hope!" Rathwell said.
        
       Hewitt discussed the moment they realized they had won the jackpot.
        
       "I received the life-changing email and was in shock! I had to go down
       to a retail location to verify all the zeros I was seeing! Could this
       be real?" Hewitt said as the couple picked up their prize in Toronto.
        
       The couple plans to travel the world and make sure their family and
       loved ones "are well taken care of."
        
       ##  Trenton man wins $1 million
        
       A Trenton, Ont. man became a new millionaire after winning the
       "Ontario Jackpot" of $1,032,525 in the April 13 Lottario draw.
        
       Timothy Annett, who works as a material handler, says he typically
       picks up a Lottario ticket when the jackpot is high.
        
       "I considered picking up a Lottario ticket while at the store but
       decided against it because I noticed the jackpot had recently been
       won," he shared while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to collect
       his winnings.
        
       "I went back out to my car and noticed I already had a Lottario ticket
       in my centre console. I scanned the ticket on the OLG app, and I was
       shocked. I couldn't believe that it was my ticket that had won the
       jackpot! I walked back into the store in a daze. It was a wonderfully
       chaotic experience."
        
       Annett says he plans to purchase a house and travel. The winning
       ticket was purchased at The Round Hill Gas Station on Highway 33 in
       Trenton.
        
       Timothy Annett, of Trenton, Ont., won the $1 million Lottario jackpot.
