They didn't win the $70-million, but they still won a lot of cash.

Two people from Niagara won big in the January 7th Lotto Max draw!

James Leavens of Beamsville won $1-million, after buying his ticket at the Sobeys on Ontario Street.

Meanwhile Jennifer Labre of Niagara Falls won $500,000. She bought her ticket at the Avondale on Dunn Street.

Labre is a 41-year-old waitress and mother of two.

She would like to use her winnings to renovate her mothers home, and take her sons on a trip to Costa Rica.

Leavens is a retired teacher and a married, father of two.

He says he'd like to buy a smartphone, because he still has a phone that hangs on the wall.
