81-year-old Burnaby man wins $26M in Lotto Max draw

An 81-year-old man from Burnaby is waking up this morning a multi-millionaire.

Marcello Battison accepted his $26-million cheque on Tuesday after winning the Lotto Max draw on March 10.

The former BC Hydro worker says he is not planning to buy a new house, he just wants to help his family and take a nice trip with his wife.

“I just want to relax, that’s it,” said Battison. “I don’t want to worry about money anymore.”
