One lucky man in Moose Jaw is now $500,000 richer. 

After buying a lotto ticket from Circle K ar 526 9th Avenue on April 6th, Keith Littler received a pleasant surprise when he checked the winning ticket numbers for the April 8 WESTERN MAX draw online. 

“I’ve always wondered what it would be like to win big!” Littler recalled when he claimed his prize. 

To be sure he really was about to become half a million dollars richer, Littler checked his tickets once more before sharing the news with his wife. 

“She couldn’t believe it,” recalled Littler. 

“I was calm. I didn’t want to break a hip,” he added. 

Now that Littler knows what it’s like to win big, he is still deciding what he would like to do with his winnings. 

Littler matched the winning numbers for one of the $1 million prizes drawn for the April 8 WESTERN MAX draw and will split the prize with a ticket bought in Alberta. Both tickets shared the winning numbers 3, 7, 10, 27, 41, 49, and 50.
