A Wallaceburg resident won $1 million in an August Lotto Max draw.
Brian Brownlee won the prize in the Aug. 19 draw.
Brownlee said he discovered his big win while checking his ticket at the store.
“I used the ticket checker and then asked the retailer to double-check for me,” he said in a media release. “I went home and told my wife, and she thought I had only won $1,000.”
The 80-year-old was stunned to learn he had actually won $1 million.
“I don’t have plans for this prize yet. Maybe we’ll complete some home renovations, and I’ll get some body work done on my truck,” Brownlee said.
The winning ticket was purchased at Circle K on McNaughton Avenue in Wallaceburg.
