Lloydminster local wins $1M on LOTTO MAX!

Roy Shortt is feeling optimistic about what his future holds, after a $1 million win on the September 17 LOTTO MAX draw. 

The Lloydminster winner said he couldn’t believe his eyes when he first saw the win. 

“I scanned on the app probably a dozen times,” Shortt laughed. “I also scanned it once in-store just to be doubly sure!” 

“I always buy LOTTO MAX during high jackpots,” he added. 

Shortt says the win has opened up his world in more ways than one. 

“I realized owning a home would finally be possible for me,” he said. “And I’m looking for one that is really accessible, because I have M.S. and want to make sure I can get around if it gets worse.” 

“I’ve already started looking for my perfect home!” he beamed. “As soon as I saw I had won I started looking at houses.” 

The Lloydminster winner said his brother was the first person he told. 

“We talked about it for a long time,” Shortt said. “This win is really giving me peace and a sense of relief with the unknowns. It’ll be good to put some into savings and have a safety net if I can’t work in the future.” 

His safety net isn’t the only thing Shortt has his eyes on with this win, though. 

“I play a lot of online games and have very good friends across Canada and the U.S. that I’ve never met,” he smiled. “I’ll finally get to take a trip and meet them!” 

“I have Christmas ornaments that were sent to me by one of my friends’ kids and I have them up all year round. I just can’t believe I’ll finally get to meet them!” 

Shortt purchased his winning LOTTO MAX ticket at North Border Husky and Car Wash located at 5906 50 Avenue in Lloydminster, AB. He won one of the MAXMILLIONS prizes available in the September 17 LOTTO MAX draw by correctly matching the selection: 8, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 39.
