Airdrie local wins $1M on Scratch & Win ticket! 

Gurpal Parmar is $1 million richer after winning $1 million on a $100 ULTIMATE Scratch & Win ticket. 

The Airdrie local picked up his ticket on a gas station stop and was shocked when he scratched the ticket. 

“I saw the number and thought, ‘That can’t be right,’” he laughed. “So, I checked it on the scanner and then the Lotto Spot app as well to be sure!” 

Once Parmar had confirmed his big win, he was overwhelmed. 

“My hands were shaking,” Parmar said. “I felt like I needed to sit and have some water—I was in pure disbelief and had to pinch myself!” 

“The first person I told was my mom,” he continued. “I made a video of me checking the ticket to send her and then there were happy tears!” 

The winner said he’s ready to start enjoying the winnings. 

“I’m in desperate need of a new car,” he said. “I’ll also be making a downpayment on a house and I’m hoping to invest the rest of it.” 

“My family and I have never taken a family vacation, so we’ll probably do that as well!” he added. 

Parmar purchased his winning $100 ULTIMATE Scratch & Win ticket from Mobil at 300 – 6509 46 Street in Olds.
