Castor Local Has Wife Confirm $1 Million Win!

When Jody Everson discovered he had won $1 million on his WESTERN MAX ticket, he decided not to break the news to his wife right away. Instead, he handed her the ticket and asked her to scan it herself.

The Castor resident purchased his winning ticket from the Mobil located at 5101A 47 Avenue in Stettler, and discovered his prize using the Lotto Spot app.

After realizing he was holding a million-dollar winner, Everson couldn't wait to share the moment with his wife, though not without a little suspense.

"I went and got my wife and told her to scan the ticket without telling her I had won," he explained.

As for what's next, Everson said he has a mix of practical and fun plans in mind.

"I’d like to pay off some debt, take a family trip, maybe build a race car and take a family vacation,” he said.

While some winners spend time imagining what a million-dollar prize might feel like, Everson says the real experience is hard to put into words: "It feels surreal!"

Everson won one of the 14 Additional Prize draws on the September 15 WESTERN MAX draw. The winning numbers were 9, 10, 12, 19, 26 and 31 (exact match).
