Edmontonian wins $1M on WESTERN MAX!

Mia Kuiken won $1,000,010 on WESTERN MAX and sat on her ticket for almost a year!

The Edmonton winner said she purchased the tickets in December 2023 when she purchased for several draws at once.

The winning ticket was for the WESTERN MAX January 23 draw, with the numbers 2, 4, 14, 25, 29, 35, and 37.

“I’ve been playing these numbers for years,” she said. “When I saw I had won I was in shock—ecstatic and very excited!”

Kuiken has the purrfect plan for how to spend her windfall as well.

“I volunteer as a cat cuddler at the humane society so I’m thinking about making a donation to them,” she said. “I’ve also always wanted to adopt a cat so maybe I can do that now!”

She said besides her dreams of getting a kitty, the win is going to help with savings and bills.

“It gives me a sense of relief,” she said. “It definitely will make things a lot easier.”

Kuiken purchased her winning WESTERN MAX ticket at Save-On Foods at 1120 91 Street in Edmonton. She won her prize by matching one of the million-dollar prize selections for the WESTERN MAX January 23 draw: 2, 4, 14, 25, 29, 35, and 37. She won $10 on the same ticket!
