This year in May, a Whistler resident, Francis Masculino, won $500,000 on a Lotto Max ticket he picked up at the Squamish Walmart.
“This means I can spend more time at home with my kids,” said Masculino, who noted that the life-changing win means he can work one job, instead of two.
On November 30, a Squamish woman, matched six out of seven numbers to win $1 million in the October 30 Lotto Max draw.
Ashleigh Preston had also purchased her ticket at the Walmart in Squamish and said she decided to buy the ticket on a whim.
Preston said her priority is to put her winnings into savings, though she had ordered a new Ford Explorer, a vehicle she has always dreamed about owning.
Her family would also like to visit the Caribbean once it’s safe to travel.
