At first, Werner Weiss thought he won $10,000 on his Lotto Max ticket – but he was wrong.
“I had to count the zeros a few times to believe my eyes,” Weiss said in a news release issued by BCLC. “Even now it has to sink in a bit!”
The West Kelowna resident had actually won the $1 million Maxmillions prize on the Jan. 27 draw date.
“This win means a lot,” Weiss said. “I think I’ll put some money towards my retirement and help people when I can.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Sheffield’s Express in the Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Kelowna.
