Candice McIvry, of Erin, was overwhelmed when she realized her Lotto 6/49 ticket matched five out of six numbers and the bonus number from the Dec. 19 draw.
“My heart started pounding,” McIvry told Ontario Lottery and Gaming staff in Toronto when she collected her second prize of $63,580.
“It was so unexpected. It feels great.”
McIvry, 54, is a credit manager.
She plans to share her windfall with her family, and buy a vehicle.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Eganville Plaza on Alice Street in Eganville.
