Rural Milton couple discovers $760,178 lottery win on day of daughter's wedding shower
A husband and wife from a rural area of Milton snapped a picture of themselves outside Ontario's lottery prize centre back in 2009, hoping to return one day as winners.
On May 8, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. announced the couple has finally fulfilled that desire.
Shawn and Nancy Lyons of Moffat won $760,178 in the March 29 Lottario draw.
Their original photo was taken on New Year's Eve outside the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.
'I printed that picture, and it's been hanging in our bedroom ever since. Now, here we are,' Shawn said in an OLG news release.
The pair, who run their own family-owned business, have been playing the lottery together for more than 30 years.
The parents of three and grandparents of three discovered the lottery win on the day of their daughter's wedding shower.
Shawn was outside with his son and was checking his tickets on the OLG app. At first, he thought they won $760, but when he showed his phone to his son, his son informed him it was actually more than $760,000.
'We were both so excited,' Shawn said 'We laughed and did a little happy dance before heading inside to share the incredible news with Nancy.'
Shawn, wearing a big smile, sat down beside his wife and then asked her to follow him outside. She was suspicious, but followed him out where he showed her the winning message.
'Winning comes with a burst of emotions,' the pair said together in the release. 'One minute you're laughing, and the next, you're overwhelmed. It's very exciting, as this win gives us the opportunity to help our children and our grandchildren. We also look forward to paying off our mortgage, completing some renovations, and investing for our retirement.'
The winning ticket was purchased at
Turtle Gas Station on Guelph Line
in Campbellville area of Milton.

Midway through the North American leg of the run, the 26-year-old Toronto native is scheduled to drop in at Queens, NY's Forest Hills Stadium on Friday, Oct. 3. These shows come in support of Mendes' recently-released fifth studio album 'Shawn,' which hit shelves in October 2024 and spawned the hit singles 'Why Why Why,' 'Heart of Gold' and 'Nobody Knows.' While we don't know what he'll take to the stage this time around, Set List FM reports he performed 16 songs at his Brooklyn Paramount show seven months ago. If you'd like to see him live in 2025, tickets are available for all North American shows.

For a closer look at what he performed, take a look at Set List FM's account of the evening. 01.) 'That's the Dream'02.) 'Heavy'03.) 'In Between'04.) 'Stitches'05.) 'Isn't That Enough'06.) 'Rollin' Right Along'07.) 'Nobody Knows'08.) 'Heart of Gold' (Dedicated to Liam Payne, who passed away two days before this performance)09.) 'Why Why Why'10.) 'Hallelujah' (Leonard Cohen cover)11.)

'There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back' On Nov. 15, 2024, Mendes dropped his fifth studio album 'Shawn.' Billed as a more personal, intimate record than his previous output, the 12-track record follows through on that promise. Stripped-down and raw, 'Shawn' shows off Mendes at his most vulnerable over the record's 30-minute runtime. After a few spins, we were most struck by Mendes' quiet opener 'Who I Am,' soaring anthem 'Nobody Knows,' melancholy 'Isn't That Enough,' rousing epic 'Heavy' and stirring cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah.' Still, the undisputed highlight is Mendes' 'Heart of Gold,' an emotional ode to a departed friend. It's heavy and just may make you well up. We know we did. If you'd like to hear for yourself, you can find 'Shawn' in its entirety here. Not familiar with the artists Shawn Mendes is bringing on the road with him? No worries.

These non-GAAP measures are commonly used by investors and other interested parties to evaluate the Company's financial performance and are employed by the Company to measure its operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making. These non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. These measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the financial information reported under IFRS. Refer also to appendix tables, "Q1 2025" of this press release as well as our Management's Discussion and Analysis for definitions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures to the nearest IFRS measures. NON-IFRS MEASURES This announcement refers to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS Accounting Standards measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS Accounting Standards. We use non-IFRS measures including "EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA". Management uses these non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts, and to determine components of management compensation. As required by Canadian securities laws, we reconcile these non-IFRS measures to the most comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measures in this announcement. See below regarding definitions and reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the relevant reported measures. We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA removes fair value adjustment of convertible debt and warrants, fair value adjustment of inventory, restructuring expenses, non-recurring bad debt expense, foreign exchange gains and losses, and share-based compensation items from EBITDA. We are presenting these measures because we believe that our current and potential investors, and many analysts, use them to assess our current and future operating results and to make investment decisions. Management uses these measures in managing the business and making decisions. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended as substitutes for IFRS measures.
