Call it a touchdown for Burlington resident and Canadian Football League referee Dave Foxcroft who recently won more than $200,000 from a Lotto Max draw last month.

Foxcroft, who is the son of Ron Foxcroft (founder of Fox 40 International, a company best known for manufacturing whistles), won $219,189.70 in the Dec. 22, 2017 Lotto Max draw.

He also won $4 on his Encore plays, bringing his total prize to $219,193.70.

“I have been playing the lottery for a few years,” said Dave, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up his cheque.

“I usually play Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 with Encore. When I checked my ticket online, I was very excited to see my numbers.”

The 50-year-old Foxcroft said he plans on sharing his winnings with his two sons, noting “this prize will help my children when they complete university.

“This win was a nice way to end the year,” Foxcroft added.

Foxcroft also was the head referee for the 105th Grey Cup on Nov. 26, 2017 and was one of three CFL officials who officiated National Football League pre-season games in 2016 as part of an inter-league development program.

Since its launch in September 2009, Ontario Lotto Max players have won more than $4 billion in prizes, including 55 jackpot wins and 390 winning MaxMillions tickets from all across the province.

The winning ticket was purchased online at PlayOLG.ca.
