Toronto Man Wins $60 Million Lotto Jackpot and Plans to Explore the World
So, here’s something that’ll definitely make you rethink throwing out that lottery ticket—imagine waking up one day and realizing you're $60 million richer. That’s exactly what happened to 26-year-old Bocheng Mei from Toronto. He won the Gold Ball jackpot from Lotto 6/49, and let me tell you, it wasn’t just the biggest win in July—it was the biggest prize claimed from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) that month.
The winning numbers came from a May 7th draw, but Bocheng officially picked up his oversized cheque in July. At just 26, this win has completely transformed his life, and naturally, his family’s too. He mentioned that he no longer needs to worry about expenses—his or his parents’. That kind of financial security at that age is pretty much life-changing.
But instead of rushing to buy luxury cars or yachts, Bocheng has some refreshingly grounded plans. He said he’s passionate about learning and wants to dive into educational opportunities now that he has the freedom to do so. And travel? Oh yes, that’s definitely on the agenda. He’s especially eager to see the Aurora Borealis, which means trips to Iceland or Finland are likely already being plotted out.

This $60 million win, though, was just one part of a very lucky July in Ontario. According to OLG data, there were 12 other prizes of $1 million or more handed out across the province. Plus, dozens more won five- and six-figure amounts. It’s been a hot streak for Ontario lottery players, no doubt about that.
To help people see just how many winners there were, OLG has even released a map showing the locations across Ontario where those big wins happened. It includes places like Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Oshawa, and Bowmanville. It's fascinating to zoom in and see the spread—maybe even spot your own neighborhood.
Now, in case you’re wondering if you're holding on to a winning ticket, remember: most OLG games give you up to a year to claim your prize. So it’s always worth checking again, especially when this many people are walking away as millionaires.
All in all, Bocheng Mei’s story is a reminder that sometimes, dreams can come true—and that it might just be your turn next.
