Vancouver Man Wins $10 Million In Lotto Max Draw

Darpan News Desk, 06 Nov, 2019 06:40 PM

    Vancouver man James Russell has just hit the jackpot.

     

    All seven numbers matched in the November 1, 2019, Lotto Max draw that led him to win the $10-million jackpot.

     

    “I was sitting down, it was hard to believe,” said Russell, who purchased the winning ticket after his regular walk with his dogs. “I wrote them down on a piece of paper, I double and triple-checked the numbers but they didn’t change.”

     
     

    Russell said in a news release that he’ll be treating a few friends to dinner who are visiting from out of town as part of his celebration. He’s also dreaming of a trip to Ireland to ride his bike along the old railway tracks.

     

    “It was quite a shock at first, I’m not quite used to it,” Russell said. “But I imagine I will get used to it at some point.”

     
     

    The other winning ticket, purchased in the Stikine region from the October 29, 2019 draw, is worth $20-million.
