Hamilton steelworker's lotto loyalty pays off after big win

A Hamilton steelworker is almost $800,000 richer after winning big in the lottery.
According to a press release issued by OLG, Hamilton's Adam Greenly won the Lightning Lotto jackpot on March 1, 2021.
The top prize, which started at $125,000, had grown to $793,662.10 before it was won.
“I was interested in the instant draw of Lightning Lotto, which is why I decided to start playing,” said 25-year-old Greenly, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his win.
“The cashier got very excited and I was suddenly aware I won the jackpot. I couldn't believe what happened - it was surreal.”
Greenly, who is a regular lotto player, said he had to send a photo of his winning ticket to his mom because "she didn't believe me."
He said he plans to use his winnings wisely.
“I have a few plans and will figure out next steps once I finally accept this is real,” he said.
The winning ticket was purchased at Kitman Variety of Dunsmure Road in East Hamilton.
