Two men on a coffee run in Kelowna decided to buy a lottery ticket at One Stop on Bernard Avenue. That decision paid off big time.
The co-workers, Matthew Saari and Glenn Lamb, are sharing in a $500,000 Lotto Max win.
It is an Oct. 7 Maxmillions prize win split with a winner from Ontario.
“This will open a few more doors for my family and will create a nice little nest egg for our future,” Saari said in a B.C. Lottory Corporation news release issued today, Nov. 22.
Lamb was golfing when he learned of the win and thought “there goes my golf game,” the news release says.
When Kelowna men told their wives they had won the lottery both didn’t believe the news. Saari’s wife had to check the ticket herself.
