A resident of Belle River, Ontario, has joined the ranks of the province's lottery millionaires. Tricia Malone is celebrating a life-changing win after securing a $1 million prize in the Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball draw.
The Winning Moment
The fortunate draw took place on November 1, 2025. Malone's winning ticket was purchased at a familiar local spot: Joe’s Variety on Notre Dame Street in Belle River. The Lotto 6/49 game gives players a shot at two multi-million dollar jackpots every Wednesday and Saturday for a single $3 ticket, with Malone hitting the coveted $1 million Gold Ball prize.
A Community of Winners
Malone is not the only recent winner in the Windsor-Essex region. Her windfall follows closely on the heels of another local success story. Denis Duperron of Windsor won an Ontario-only Lottario jackpot worth $1,593,020.70 in the November 8 draw. A self-described horse racing enthusiast, Duperron shared plans to invest his winnings into purchasing a horse of his own.
What's Next for the Winner?
While Malone's immediate plans have not been publicly detailed, the OLG often describes such wins as allowing winners to "find their possible"—a phrase signifying the opportunity to pursue dreams and secure futures that were once out of reach. This substantial prize is sure to open new doors for the Belle River resident, adding another chapter to Ontario's lottery history.
The consecutive major wins in the region highlight the life-altering potential of provincial lottery games, turning ordinary days into extraordinary milestones for lucky participants.
