“When I scratched the ticket and saw the $2 million, I couldn’t believe it,” Swayze said. “I ran up to Natasha to show her and she suggested we check on the OLG App to be sure. I was in disbelief.”
Natasha Chenier plans to use her share to pay off her mortgage and travel, while Albanese and Swayze said they will travel to visit family. A “grateful” Shawnna Chenier hopes to buy a house.
The winning ticket was bought at Mix and Food Mart in Hamilton.
