He doesn’t play often but buying a Lotto Max ticket last month sure paid off for Roger Clark.
The Oakland, New Brunswick resident bought a ticket in the October 21st draw with a jackpot of $70 million.
He won a million dollars through Maxmillions, the additional $1-million prizes that are drawn when the Lotto Max jackpot reaches $50 million.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. I scanned it with my phone and it said it was a big winner so I thought maybe $10,000 or something,” Clark said. “That’s when I went to the store and they printed it out and it said I won $1 million.
Clark also won $3 on the add-on game TAG on the same ticket, making his total prize $1,000,003.
“I told my brother and my nephew that I won $1,000, then I said, ‘Well, maybe add a couple of zeros on to that,’” Clark said. “So, they asked ‘$100,000?’ and I said, ‘Well, maybe a little bit more.’”
His plans include buying a new home with more space for himself, his mother, brother and two nephews who all live together.
Clark will also pay off his vehicle, buy a ride-on lawn mower and taking some trips with his family to Cuba and New England.
He will keep working.
“It’s going to be nice to be less stressed and just be more comfortable,” Clark said. “We don’t need to worry about bills or anything anymore.”
Roger of Oakland, N.B. decided to purchase a LOTTO MAX ticket when he saw there was a chance at $70 Million. He ended up winning a $1 Million MAXMILLION prize and $3 on TAG!
