“I always try to pick up a Lotto Max ticket when the jackpot is high. And especially when there are Maxmillions draws,” he said.
Sparks was one of 28 Maxmillion winners from the Dec. 30 draw.
He plans to invest his new money.
“I’ll put some money away for the kids’ education,” he said. “After that, I’ll take my family on a vacation and then put the rest in savings.”
