Isn’t this something we all dream of?  And here’s a local man who’s livin’ that dream!  Robert Mansell couldn’t believe his eyes when he checked his LOTTO MAX ticket and discovered he won $726,341on the June 2 draw.

“I checked my numbers on the computer at home and saw that I won,” he said. “I went to the Mac’s Store right after that to make sure I was seeing things right.”

“I scanned it on the self-checker and took a picture, then I asked the clerk to check one more time, just to be sure,” he said.

The happy winner said he has a few ideas for his winnings, starting with paying off his mortgage.

“We’re going to pay off the house and the rest of our bills,” he said. “We also want to go on a holiday, and I’ll probably buy a new truck and trailer.”

Mansell purchased his winning LOTTO MAX ticket at Shoppers Drug Mart, located at 7 Clearview Market Way in Red Deer.
