Vancouverite wins $1M on LOTTO 6/49 in Edmonton!

Jae Seong Bae was working in Edmonton last October when he purchased a LOTTO 6/49 ticket during a stop for groceries. 

Months later, the Vancouverite finally wrapped up his work project and got around to checking the ticket on the Lotto Spot app. 

It was a $1 million LOTTO 6/49 winner! 

“I was like, ‘Wow!’” he said. “You dream about it, but it happened!” 

“I had a fast heartbeat and a dizzy feeling,” he continued. “I was just unbelievably excited.” 

Now, Bae is interested in some leisure time. 

“I want to take a break from work for a bit and take a trip to Europe,” he said. “I am very excited and I feel happy and also very fortunate!” 

Bae purchased his winning LOTTO 6/49 ticket from H Mart at 570-3803 Calgary Trail NW in Edmonton. He won his prize on the October 11, 2025 Gold Ball draw with the selection: 29123594-01, a white ball.

Myth: If the odds are 1 in 4 on a SCRATCH ’N WIN ticket and you buy four tickets, you should be guaranteed a win.

Fact: These are overall odds (1 in 4). So you could buy four tickets and win on all four, or win on none, or wind up somewhere between the two. There’s no connection between tickets.
