A Winnipeg man is $9.5 million richer after winning a Lotto Max jackpot.
Don Humniski redeemed a free play for the June 14 draw and picked up his winning ticket at Ford’s Grocery in Winnipeg Beach, en route to his family’s cottage.
“I saw that a Manitoba ticket had won $9.5 million on the Lotto Max draw the previous night, and I said ‘wouldn’t it be funny if we won?’
“I checked my numbers a couple minutes later, and I nearly fell backwards into the ditch!”
