Logan Lake man plans to buy new car after $1M lottery win

A Logan Lake resident has won $1 million on a Lotto Max draw earlier this month.

John M. checked his ticket at the Esso on Ponderosa Avenue in Logan Lake where he learned he’d won.

“I didn’t check the screen at first and asked for the win in fifties. The clerk laughed and said he couldn’t pay it out,” John M. said in a BC Lottery Corporation media release issued, April 15.

John M. celebrated with win at a family barbecue.

He plans to take a few trips and buy a new car with the winnings.
