An ‘extra’ look was needed for Jung Hyub Ahn after he initially thought that his $500,000 Lotto Max Extra prize from the February 16, 2024 draw was just $500.
The Burnaby resident purchased his ticket from the lottery kiosk at Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby and was at Superstore when he decided to check his ticket.
“I first checked it myself, and then passed it to the cashier as I thought I only won $500,” Ahn recalled. “Then I was told it was $500,000! I was so happy.”
Ahn couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with his friends. He looks forward to the security that this win will bring for his future and plans to take his time deciding what to do with the prize.
So far in 2024, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $18 million in winnings from the Extra and more than $54 million from Lotto Max.
