Kingston resident wins $1 million in Lotto Max

A Kingston man is the LImestone city's newest millionaire after winning $1 million in the July 26 Lotto Max draw.

Steven Williams has been playing the lottery for about 15 years. Wiliams and his sister were taken by surprise when they learned about the winning ticket.

"My sister was quick to say, 'I've never met a lottery winner before!' and we all shared a laugh," the Kingston resident said while at the OLG Prize Centre to pick up his Maxmillions prize.

Williams says winning is a "great feeling," noting that he hasn't taken the time to think about what he's going to do with the money, yet.

"I haven't even thought about it yet! I still don't think it has fully registered," he added.
