Saskatchewan mother/son duo win $1M on LOTTO MAX!

Tracy Fiske of Air Ronge, and her son Bryce Fiske of Meadow Lake won $1 million on the December 26 LOTTO MAX draw!

Tracy was trying to buy a turkey for a family dinner and wasn’t having any luck at their typical store.

“They didn’t have any turkeys in Melfort, so I was like, ‘Okay I guess we’re going to Kinistino to get one!’” Tracy explained. “While we were there, I stopped at the gas station to buy a LOTTO MAX ticket.”

She immediately put her name and her son Bryce’s name on the ticket. The pair had been buying tickets together for a few years –usually sporadically or for bigger jackpots.

“My mom started it, but we take turns and go buy a couple tickets and put both our names on them,” Bryce explained. “It’s random –it’s not every week –but we really did quite a few in a row while the jackpot was $80 million!”

“It gives us something to talk about and connect on regularly,” smiled Tracy.

Now, the two really have something to talk about: a million-dollar win to share between them!

“When I checked the ticket, I was like, ‘Is this real?’” Tracy said. “It didn’t seem real. I probably scanned it ten times.”

When she called Bryce to tell him the news, he didn’t believe her at first either.

“She called me and said, ‘How about I give you half a million dollars?’ he laughed.”

The two winners are already excitedly planning how they’ll enjoy their windfall.

“I’m going to pay off my vehicle and then see what happens,” said Bryce.

“There have been discussions about taking a family trip, but nothing set in stone yet,” added Tracy.

Tracy and Bryce both say it’s incredible timing and a complete shock that a simple trip to buy a turkey resulted in the two of them kicking off 2026 with a million-dollar LOTTO MAX win.

“It’s super exciting and to win in a small town in a country this big is unreal,” said Bryce.
