A Saskatoon man has his wife to thank for finding out about a one-million dollar lottery prize.
Shannon Luoma had purchased his lucky Western Max ticket at the Shell Select located at 1828 McOrmond Dr., but failed to see if he actually won anything.
“My wife had read that there were unclaimed lottery prizes in Saskatchewan and she knew that I had a stack of tickets that I hadn’t checked,” Luoma said in a press release.

As it turned out, Luoma’s wife was right because within the stack was the million-dollar winner.
He plans to take his time deciding what to do with the winnings.
“I still don’t really believe it,” he said.
“We might go on a winter vacation; somewhere with a beach.”
Luoma’s lucky numbers for the June 8 draw were 13, 19, 24, 25, 28, 33, and 44.
