A lottery winner from Edmonton plans to invest carefully after netting an enormous $1 million prize.

Tamas Toth was shocked to see familiar numbers on the screen when he checked the winning numbers for the November 23 Lotto 6/49 draw.

ā€œI checked the numbers online and then had to check them a few more times,ā€ he laughed while claiming his prize. ā€œIt’s kind of shocking!ā€

The new winner said he has a few ideas for his windfall but plans to take his time deciding what to do with the million-dollar prize.

ā€œI’m not thinking anything ā€˜fun’ right now,ā€ he explained. ā€œI’d like to invest. I’ve started looking around for opportunities.ā€

ā€œMost importantly, I want to make sure that I make the right decisions,ā€ he continued. ā€œI don’t want to just do the first thing that comes to mind.ā€

Toth purchased his $18 Lotto 6/49 ticket from Lynnwood Pharmasave, which is located at 8764 149 Street NW in Edmonton.

He won his prize by matching the Gold Ball draw selection on the November 23 Lotto 6/49 draw — 34089625-02.
