Jays legend Joe Carter shared the news with Aric via phone call on Monday morning.
But for now, that’s all we know, as Aric declined media interviews.
The precise total take home prize was $25,010,057, with an unofficial winning number of 867814466.
According to the Jays Care Foundation, the other half of all proceeds go directly to Jays Care programming in communities across Ontario and Nova Scotia.
More to come
