Dimitri Golimbonis is looking forward to attending a music festival in Las Vegas after winning $500,000 from the Lotto Max draw from June 7, 2022. The New Westminster resident shared a $1-million Maxmillions prize with another player in Ontario.
“I was playing at home and told my girlfriend I won. She laughed and said I was lying and then we hugged. We were speechless,” said Golimbonis, who purchased his ticket on BCLC’s PlayNow.com – B.C.s’ only legal, regulated gambling website.
Golimbonis plans to purchase a home and send he and his girlfriend’s parents’ to their home country to visit family. He also plans to enjoy some travel.
“I want to go to Vegas for a music festival and I’m a big sports guy, so it would be great to visit some stadiums.”
On how it feels to win $500,000?
“It’s so surreal. I’ve imagined before what I would do if I won and how I would act. It’s a sigh of relief for myself and my family.”
