An Edmonton lottery winner ignored his massive $1 million prize for an entire day before discovering the size of his windfall.
Guy Morrison knew he had won something on his September 10 Lotto Max ticket, but he went all day before realizing just how big his prize was.
āI scanned the ticket on a self-scanner at the store,ā he said. āI saw a few numbers, but wasnāt sure how much it was. So, I just went on about my day.ā
The winner rechecked his numbers when he got home.
āI looked up the numbers on WCLCās website,ā he said. āI believe my reaction was, āWell, ****!āā
The Edmonton local said he has a few plans for his recent windfall.
āIām going to pay off my mortgage, top-up the retirement fund, and share with my family,ā he beamed.
Morrison purchased his Lotto Max ticket from the Circle K located at 3208 82nd Street NW in Edmonton.
