The Ontario Provincial Police say a Toronto man is facing charges after allegedly claiming $1 million in lottery winnings for himself, despite being part of a group that won the prize.

On July 2, police said a man claimed the $1 million Lotto Max Free Play ticket with Encore “as a sole claimant” and got his payout from OLG.

OLG’s forensic investigation unit then received and reviewed claims suggesting the winnings were actually from a group play arrangement, police said.

Global's Catherine McDonald spoke to the store owner who helped Alex Parucha check his winning ticket.
