A Lower Mainland resident plans to take a bucket list trip after winning a half a million prize from the Lotto Max draw.
Aidan Beacock said he had to do a double take after discovering he won the $500,000 Extra prize from the July 12, 2024 Lotto Max draw.
“I was at the gas station, and I thought I won $500,” recalled Beacock.
“I was shocked at first, it was unbelievable!”
The Chilliwack resident used the self-scanner at the Petro Canada on Fraser Highway and Lefeuvre Road in Abbotsford to check his winning ticket.
Beacock shared the news of his win with his mom and said she was "shocked and happy!”
While he isn't sure what he wants to do with all of his winnings, Beacock plans to invest some of them and travel to Bora Bora this winter.
On how it feels to win?
“Happy! Excited! It’s just so unbelievable – it feels surreal," shared the Fraser Valley man.
Beacock bought the winning ticket at the Petro Canada station on Pemberton Portage Road in Pemberton.
