Calgarian ready to take first vacation in seven years with $1M LOTTO 6/49 win!

Calgarian Son Do won $1 million on LOTTO 6/49! 

“When I checked the ticket, I didn’t bring my reading glasses,” he chuckled. “So, I called my daughter and said, ‘I saw a lot of zeroes, but I’m not sure how many!’” 

“She said, ‘It’s okay I can scan it for you on the [Lotto Spot] app when you get home and we can see how much you won!’” he explained. “When I scanned it at home with my daughter she yelled and said, ‘Dad, it’s a million dollars!’” 

Do began jumping up and down with excitement and celebrated with his family. 

“I said, ‘Oh, I cannot believe this!’” he smiled. “I hugged and kissed my wife – we were all excited.” 

Do said he’s also excited to enjoy the winnings with his family. 

“Most of the money will go to my kids’ education and maybe I’ll save some for us,” he said. “We’re planning a trip to Rome – specifically, we’ve always wanted to go to the Vatican – my family has always dreamed of it.” 

The trip is a long-time coming for Do. 

“I haven’t had a chance to vacation for seven years,” he admitted. “After years of working, it’s a big relief to me and my family to have this windfall.” 

Do purchased his winning LOTTO 6/49 ticket from A Plus 1 Convenience Store at 9947 Fairmount Drive SE in Calgary. He won his prize on the December 17 LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball draw with the selection: 23423197-01, a white ball.
