Shelagh Clegg was in complete shock after learning she won $1 million from the August 20, 2024 Lotto Max draw and even made the trip to a retailer just to double check the win was real.
“I was at home, and I was in disbelief,” recalled Clegg. “I had to count all the zeroes! I had thought it was $100,000 then I had to scan again [with the BCLC Lotto! App]. Then I went to the Thrifty’s – just to be sure.”
The Delta resident was excited to share the news first with her close friend. “She was and is just so excited for me!”
Clegg plans on putting some of her winnings into savings but intends to treat herself to a “little present” and new car.
“Blessed! It’s going to allow me to retire with financial stability. That is just a massive gift!”
Clegg purchased the winning ticket at Thrifty Foods on 56th Street in Delta.
