Calgarian wins $2 MILLION on WESTERN 649!

Stephen Churchill was about to go to bed when he found out he was the winner of a $2 million WESTERN 649 prize! 

“I realized, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s really a lot of money!’” he said. “I couldn’t sleep after that!” 

The first person the Calgary winner told was his mom. 

“I went downstairs and told my mom someone in Calgary won, and it was me!” he smiled. “We just kept passing the ticket back and forth to be sure it was real!” 

“I sat at the dining table, and it dawned on me that I could buy the house if I wanted to—I could buy a house!” he said. 

Churchill also called his sister that night to share the exciting news. 

“She screamed!” he laughed.  

The Calgarian is already excitedly making plans for how to enjoy his winnings. 

“I’d like to go on a Caribbean cruise,” he said. “I’d like to go on a nice big ship because I like to explore them!” 

Churchill and his mother purchase their tickets together each week, and this isn’t his first big win—but it is his biggest. 

“When I won $100,000 on EXTRA several years ago, we took our family on a Disney cruise,” he said. “It was SO much fun!” 

Churchill purchased his winning WESTERN 649 ticket from Circle K at 10 Chaparral Drive SE in Calgary. He won his prize in the March 15 draw by matching all six of the numbers selected: 12, 15, 22, 31, 36, and 42.
