Rajan Raj couldn’t hold back his tears while telling his brother he won $500,000 playing Lotto Max from the October 21, 2022 draw.
“I was in the same store where I bought the ticket,” recalled Raj, who shared a Maxmillions prize from the draw with another winner in Ontario. “I checked a few tickets and they were small wins, then I checked the winning ticket and I was sweating.”
Raj first told his brother of his win, and they were both overcome with joy and, “cried a lot.”
The Vancouver resident, who enjoys music and plays with a group, purchased and validated his ticket at Urban Choice Market on Davie Street in Vancouver.

“It’s a dream come true! I will celebrate with my close family and some friends and might plan something for next summer.”
