A Winnipeg man who won the $13.3 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot says he’s looking forward to a worry-free lifestyle after collecting his winnings.

“Being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, is a dream come true,” said Murray Lewis, who bought his winning ticket at a Henderson Highway pharmacy.

“I don’t need anything fancy. Taking care of my family and being worry-free is good enough for me.”

Lewis said he’s been playing his winning numbers – 4, 13, 22, 25, 29, and 39 – for 30 years, and that they were related to his old job.

“They’re not exactly special numbers, they’re stamp numbers,” he said.
