Overview

• David Hatt of Kingston formally claimed the Aug. 19 Lotto Max prize at an OLG Winner Celebration in Toronto on Thursday.
• He bought a Quick Pick on impulse at the Pioneer/Snack Express on Bath Road the night before the draw.
• Hatt said he discovered the win in a coffee drive‑through using the OLG app, first mistaking it for $75,000 before realizing it was $75 million.
• He has assembled a team of professionals to manage the windfall with a goal of creating a generational impact.
• Planned uses include a family dream home, travel through Europe’s smaller towns and countryside, and philanthropy focused on reaching as many vulnerable people as possible rather than a single charity.
