Fredericton man to secure daughters’ future after lotto win

A stay-at-home dad who’s taking care of his three young daughters in Fredericton, N.B., said a $1 million Lotto Max prize will change their lives.

Enzo Link said he will have peace of mind knowing his daughters will be well taken care of even after they leave the nest.

“It’s a busy household with three little girls, but I love it and I wouldn’t change it for the world,” Link said in a press release.

“I’m beyond thrilled that now I can provide for my daughters’ future in a way that I couldn’t have otherwise. They’ll have everything they ever need now.”

Link said he’s not the type to buy lottery products regularly, but when his wife asked him to pick up a ticket prior to the record-breaking June 11 Lotto Max draw, he did just that.

“Monday morning, I was in the bedroom and all of a sudden I just heard screaming and crying,” Link said. “My wife was standing there holding her phone in one hand and the ticket in the other and said, ‘We did it, we won.’”

According to the Atlantic Lottery, Maxmillions are additional $1-million prizes that are drawn when the Lotto Max jackpot reaches $50 million.

Link plans to use the winnings to buy a new home for his family and a new car. He and his wife will also be opening registered education savings plans for their three daughters.

The family is also looking forward to travelling once it is safe. A family trip to Disneyland and a trip to Egypt that Link’s wife has long dreamed of are both on the agenda.

Link’s Maxmillions winning Lotto Max ticket was purchased at Dick’s Grocery Store in Fredericton.
