Rodney Plesko from Kamloops never thought he would return home from shopping to find he had won a Max Maxmillions draw.
On the Nov. 30 draw, Rodney matched all seven numbers making him the proud winner of $1 million!
“We were at Save on Foods. I was picking up Chinese food and buying some lottery tickets for the week,” said Rodney. “I was just like ‘Oh My God!’ I checked the ticket again, and then went to a different store to make sure it was real.”
Rodney was a little too excited when he discovered his luck and caused quite the concern in his wife Anne.
“He looked like he crashed the truck. He was like, I need to tell you something,” said Anna.
“I couldn’t believe it. I’m still waiting for him to tell me he crashed the truck.”
As of now, the couple does not have any big plans for the money and they admit they need some time to adjust.
“It happened so fast that it really hasn’t sunk in yet,” added Rodney. “We just want to celebrate with family. We love to camp with our RV so maybe a lot more of that next year.”
Rodney purchased the winning ticket at the Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Kelowna. He is one of 30 British Columbians to win a Lotto Maxmillions prize in 2018.
Congratulations, Rodney!
