Dharamjit Singh’s shopping day proved extra memorable when he learned he matched 4/4 Extra numbers from the March 18, 2025 Lotto Max draw, scoring a $500,000 prize.
“I went to the drugstore to pick something up and used the self-scanner to check my ticket,” recalled Singh of the moment he realized he won. “The place where I purchased the ticket was close by, so I went there to check too. I didn’t realize I won $500,000 at first – the retailer helped me figure it out!”
The Surrey resident was most excited to tell his wife about his win.
“When I told her she didn’t believe me and she hung up the phone. I had to have the retailer tell her I won so she would believe me!”
Singh plans to use his winnings to pay off his mortgage and help his kids with their student debt.
