It was no joking matter for Neil Nabata, when he realized he won a Maxmillions prize of $1 million from the September 30, 2022, Lotto Max draw, on PlayNow.com – B.C.’s only legal gambling website.
“I thought it was a joke, I couldn’t believe it,” recalled Nabata, of the moment he learned he won after receiving a notification from PlayNow.com.
The Terrace resident first told his sister and nephew of his win.
“I first told my sister and nephew – they were shocked and very happy.”
Nabata is thankful that his winnings will provide more flexibility towards his retirement and plans to help his close friends and family.
On how it feels to win the lottery?
