PG resident eyeing new vehicle after claiming $100,000 MAXPLUS prize

Talk about a lucky trip to the grocery store.

A Prince George man is $100,000 richer after claiming a MAXPLUS prize from the October 13th Lotto Max Draw.

Thomas D first shared the news with his friend Daryl who is assisting him with the purchase of a new car.

“I self-scanned and then the employee scanned [the ticket],” recalled Thomas of the moment he realized he won. “I am buying a new car which I picked out the day before I won and thought, ‘hey, my car is free!’”

The winning ticket was purchased and validated at the Save-on-Foods location at the Spruceland Mall on Central Street West.
