Attention shoppers: money could be lurking between the produce department and the grocery aisle.
What started as just a routine stop for groceries for North Vancouver resident Kevin Capper recently turned golden after the local man found out he’d just won $1 million in the Maxmillions prize from the Oct. 14 Lotto Max draw.
The North Vancouver resident validated his ticket at the Real Canadian Superstore on Mount Seymour Parkway, and then on the Lotto! app.
“I was most excited to share the news with my wife, but my wife didn’t believe me,” Capper recalled.
Capper said now that the shock is starting to wear off, he’s happy with the security the win will provide. “The first thing that crossed my mind was that I never thought it would happen to me.”
Capper bought the winning ticket at the Park & Tilford Save-On-Foods, on Brooksbank Avenue in North Vancouver.
So far in 2022, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $156 million from Lotto Max, a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m.
