A lottery player told their brother through tears that he had won half a million dollars playing Lotto Max.
Rajan Raj, who loves music and even plays with a group, won big on the October 21, 2022, draw from a ticket they bought at Urban Choice Market on Davie Street. He split a Maxmillions prize with another winner in Ontario.
“I was in the same store where I bought the ticket…I checked a few tickets and they were small wins, then I checked the winning ticket and I was sweating.”
The first person he told about his win was his brother. “They were both overcome with joy and, ‘cried a lot,'” said BCLC in a release.
“It’s a dream come true! I will celebrate with my close family and some friends and might plan something for next summer.”
According to BCLC more than $161 million in prize money has been won in BC so far in 2022.
The next Lotto Max draw will be on Friday, November 11 and the jackpot is $29 million.
