COALDALE – One local man is $1.2-million richer as of Thursday (Nov. 24) morning!

Robert Miller, a Coaldale resident, went to get his morning coffee and check three tickets for the November 11 Lotto Max draw.

“When I scanned my third ticket, I saw a bunch of numbers pop up on the screen. I had to scan it again to really look at the prize amount,” he said in an interview with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.

“I left the store, but I couldn’t believe it. I took the ticket back inside and checked it again – it was still a winner!”

Millers says he’s going to use the $1,257,244.10 to travel, set up education funds for his grandchildren, replace his and his wife’s vehicles, and is looking forward to the added financial security.
