Brian Hayes of Cold Lake, Alberta, has won $1,000,000 with Lotto Max.

Speaking with the Western Canadian Lottery Corporation (WCLC), Hayes said he was shocked to discover he had won.

“It took a little while to sink in… honestly, even now, I’m not sure that it’s completely sunk in.”

Though he has no concrete plans for what to do with the winnings, Hayes said he may share some of the money with friends and family, and would also like to buy a new vehicle.

Hayes, who purchased his winning ticket at the CANEX Super Market in Cold Lake, won one of the 70 Maxmillion prizes drawn on June 22.
