Lotto Max: Two new millionaires in Manitoba [Video]

Two separate lottery draws have resulted in new millionaires in Manitoba.

Carol and Blaine Sangster of Brandon won $1 million in the Nov. 22 Lotto Max draw, while Jim Bester won his $1M Lotto Max prize with a free play ticket on Nov. 29.

The Sangsters said their win was unexpected and emotional for them.

“I checked the winning numbers on the website,” Carol said in a news release. “I sat there stunned, and then I think I just cried.”

Carol said she told Blaine, who was on his way to work at the time, to come home.

The couple told Western Canada Lottery Corporation they plan to buy a home together, share some of the windfall with family, and spoil their grandchildren at Christmas.

The Sangsters bought their ticket at Gambler Gas & Convenience Store in Brandon. Their winning numbers were 2, 4, 7, 11, 26, 30, and 47.
