The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is reporting that someone won the Lotto Max $60 million jackpot on Tuesday night.

The winning ticket was sold on OLG.ca. The jackpot win is the largest ever for a ticket bought on the web site.

One of the $1 million MaxMillion prizes was a ticket sold in Chatham-Kent.

The next Lotto Max jackpot on Friday drops down to an estimated $17 million. Tickets can be purchased until 10:30 p.m. on Friday for that evening’s draw.

After a 7 cent jump yesterday, the price at the pump is supposed to drop 5 cents per litre across the province to an average price of $178.9 this morning.

Locally the average is 175.8 cents per litre.

Experts are warning at least a 10-cent increase from current numbers for the May long weekend and into the summer months.

Today is Queen Elizabeth’s 96th birthday.

The Queen has been taking a step back from public appearances and events lately due to feeling “very tired and exhausted” following her recent bout of Covid-19.

Toy maker Mattel announced they would commemorate jer 70 years on the throne with a Tribute Collection Barbie doll. The Queen Barbie will be dressed in an ivory gown with a blue sash with miniature medallions and ribbons, she’ll also have a tiara based on the one Elizabeth wore on her wedding day.

The doll will be sold in London stores leading into the official Platinum Jubilee celebrations in early June.

Happy Birthday Your Majesty!

Today as The Queen turns 96, we’re sharing this photograph of the young Princess Elizabeth aged 2.
