CALGARY- A Calgary man is $40 million richer thanks to a huge lotto win—and he didn’t even need to go out and buy a ticket.
Tom Crist plays both Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49 by subscription, paying for selections up to a year in advance. On May 3rd, he struck it big, thanks to one of his winning numbers.
“I wasn’t even sure which game I’d won on, or what the numbers were,” Crist said. “I’ve paid for the subscription when I get the renewal notice every year, and then I just file it – sometimes I’d get a cheque for $10 or $20, but I never expected this.”

Crist’s win is the largest ever win in Calgary—surpassing the $30 million windfall that Darrell Szczerba had back in February.
