“I Have Lots of Exciting Ideas!”: Vancouver Resident Wins $1 Million from Lotto 6/49

The first thing Lindsay Muldoe did after seeing she won $1 million from the October 30, 2024 Lotto 6/49 draw – even before calling her husband – was wake up her mom. 

“I was visiting family and when I saw the winnings in my PlayNow account, I thought it was a mistake,” recalled Muldoe. “I woke up my mom and then called my husband. They were shocked and excited!” 

The Vancouver resident said she has “lots of exciting ideas” on how to spend her winnings, including purchasing a home, but for now she would like to keep things as normal as possible. 

On how it feels to win? 

“I’m still in shock but it will be a good Christmas this year!”
