An Edmonton man had little to say after discovering he won $1 million on a Lotto 6/49 game early last month.

Richard McInnis bought his winning ticket from the Circle K on Sir Winston Churchill Avenue in St. Albert. In addition to his massive win, the lucky man also won an additional $2 prize and a Lotto 6/49 Free Play on his ticket. His winning number was 26185561-03.

McInnis said he was surprised to see he had won in the November 4 draw, but had few words beyond that.

ā€œI checked the numbers online and saw there was a winner in Alberta,ā€ he explained during his prize claim interview. ā€œSo, I took my ticket to the store to check it.ā€

McInnis also said that he hasn’t made any plans for his $1 million windfall.

ā€œI’m happy!ā€
