A local man is now $100,000 richer thanks to LOTTO MAX.

The Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) says Les Kesler won the top EXTRA prize on the November 29, 2024 draw.

He purchased the winning ticket from the Savers Convenience Store in Lethbridge at 1904 13 Avenue North.

“I scanned the ticket in-store, saw all the zeroes, scanned it again, and then gave it to the retailer to check,” says Kesler. “I was very mellow, but other people in the store were yelling and screaming and congratulating me!”

He says his plans for how he will use this money are pretty mellow as well.
