A Teulon man is a quarter-million dollars richer after hitting it big on a Lotto MAX ticket.
William Werth bought an Extra ticket at a Red River Co-op on Brookside Boulevard in Winnipeg, and when he initially checked the numbers, he thought he’d won $250 — a great prize in its own right — but he soon realized his winnings were missing a few zeroes.

Werth said he intends to invest the winnings and save the cash for a rainy day.
