A Calgary man is dreaming of a cruise and new house now that he's won big in a recent Western 6/49 draw.
Stephen Churchill won $2 million in the March 15 draw and only found out about the win just before going to bed one night.
'I realized, 'Oh my gosh, that's really a lot of money!'' he said in a news release. 'I couldn't sleep after that!'
After telling his mom about the win, Churchill realized he could buy a house with his winnings, as well as plan a fun vacation.
'I'd like to go on a Caribbean cruise,' he said. 'I'd like to go on a nice big ship because I like to explore them!'
This is the second time he's won the lottery; he won $100,000 several years ago and used that money to take his family on a Disney cruise.
Churchill bought his winning ticket at the Circle K at 10 Chaparral Drive S.E. in Calgary.
