A series of numbers a Langley resident has been playing for years landed him a $1 million Lotto 6/49 Guaranteed Prize in the September 30, 2026 draw. Dale N. says he combines the sequence with numbers from family birthdays.
When Dale checked his ticket on the Lotto! App and realized he had won his first thought was to help his kids.
“It feels awesome, not because of the money, but because I can help my kids with future expenses.”
While Dale doesn’t have any major plans to spend the money, he says he would like to travel to England to visit museums and explore the country's history.
Although he says he does not plan on celebrating, he may have more time now to enjoy some of his favourite things: fishing for salmon, cooking and spending time with his dogs.
The winning ticket was purchased at Douglas Park Market in Langley.
So far in 2026, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $39 million from Extra and $86 million from Lotto 6/49. Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).
