‘Doesn't feel real': Calgarian wins $5M on Lotto 6-49
A Calgary man has won a whopping $5 million on the lottery. Mike Meldrum's windfall came from the June 18 Lotto 6-49 draw. The Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) announced the win last month, encouraging whoever bought the ticket to come forward to claim their prize. 'I saw someone had won in Calgary, but I hadn't checked my ticket yet,' Meldrum said in a news release. 'When I first told my wife, she didn't believe me,' he added. 'She told me to send her the numbers so she could check online herself.' Meldrum says he's been buying Lotto 6-49 tickets weekly for 35 years. Now, he's in the process of determining how to spend the money. 'Our cars are about ten years old, so we're thinking maybe new vehicles,' he said. 'I have some decisions to make about continuing work, too.' 'It doesn't feel real.' Meldrum purchased his winning ticket from 7-Eleven on Mount McKenzie Drive S.E. He won his prize by matching the following six numbers: 8, 14, 20, 25, 30, and 38.

B.C. man to plan dream Alaska fishing trip after $1M lottery win
Mackenzie resident Sim Chua will embark on his dream fishing trip to Alaska after winning $1 Million from Lotto 6/49. When B.C. man Sim Chua first found out he was going to be $1 million richer, he had only one thing on his mind – the picturesque rivers of Alaska and their abundant salmon and trout populations. The Mackenzie resident and avid fisherman had checked his winning ticket at the lotto kiosk inside the Mackenzie Mall on Mackenzie Boulevard, the same place he had bought it from prior to the May 14 Lotto 6/49 draw. 'I passed it to the retailer,' recalled Chua when detailing his win to the B.C. Lottery Corporation. 'Before scanning, she was telling me about how someone won $1 million in Mackenzie. Then she scanned the ticket and then said, 'Hey, it's you!'' Chua said he was most excited to share the news with his sister, whose ear-splitting response was one of pure surprise. 'She was just screaming so much on the phone. She couldn't believe it!' Still coming to terms with news of the life-changing win, Chua says the knowledge that he is now a millionaire still hasn't quite sunk in. 'I don't know what to do with myself,' he said. 'It's still unreal to me.' One thing he does know for certain is how the cash will be spent. Chua plans to use some of his winnings to purchase a new car, and to visit his ultimate vacation destination of Alaska. The 'dream trip' will involve plenty of fly fishing, he said. The odds of winning the main Lotto 6/49 jackpot – which requires matching all six numbers drawn without using the bonus number – are approximately one in 14 million, according to the BCLC. The odds of winning a guaranteed prize of $1 million or more in the Gold Ball Draw depend on the number of tickets sold.

Lotto 6/49 tickets are seen in a file image. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Richard Plume) Two major lottery prizes were won in B.C. on Wednesday night, on tickets bought online and in person. The lucky Lotto 6/49 ticket that scored the $5-million jackpot in the July 9 draw was purchased on the gaming website operated by the B.C. Lottery Corporation. A physical ticket purchased in the Vancouver Island community of Sooke also won the guaranteed $1-million Gold Ball Draw prize. That person will have to sign their ticket and take other steps to claim their prize, which are laid out on the BCLC website. 'Lottery winners have 52 weeks from the draw date printed on their ticket to come forward,' a BCLC spokesperson said, in an email. 'All tickets are valid for one year after the date of the draw.' No other details are available yet about either of the winners. The odds of winning the main Lotto 6/49 jackpot – which requires matching all six numbers drawn without using the bonus number – are approximately one in 14 million, according to the BCLC. The odds of winning a guaranteed prize of $1 million or more in the Gold Ball Draw depend on the number of tickets sold.
