A Victoria man just became one step closer to his dream of owning a home after winning a $1 million Maxmillions prize in the June 7 Lotto Max draw.
Beau Williams purchased the winning ticket at the Shoppers Drug Mart on West Saanich Road.
“I was at a Save-On-Foods and had to check my ticket five times because I didn’t believe it. I gave it to the cashier to check and I was in disbelief,” Williams told the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. “My girlfriend was the first person I shared the news with — she was excited, and also in disbelief!”
He is now planning to buy a home and travel the country.
“I’ve always wanted to do a road trip across Canada. A couple years ago, my girlfriend and I were going to drive across the country and then COVID hit,” Williams said.
He added winning a million dollars takes a way a lot of financial stress.
