Kelowna man wins $1 million in Lotto 6/49

A Kelowna man has lucked out winning $1 million in the Lotto 6/49 guaranteed prize draw.

Ross Kulak matched all 10 numbers in the guaranteed prize draw on February 27.

Kulak said he had been playing 6/49 quick picks for as long as he can remember.

“I was at the grocery store and thought I’d check my ticket and see if I had any small wins to pay for my lunch,” a gleaming Kulak said. “I couldn’t process what I was seeing in front of me. There were people behind me hooting and hollering as they’d never seen someone win this amount before.”

While Kulak doesn’t have any big plans for his new life-changing win, he does have some small ones,  beginning with dinner out with some friends.

“This will help with the bill,” he joked.

Kulak bought the winning ticket at Peter’s Your Independent Grocer at the Capri Centre Mall.
