John Chura and his family have won the latest LOTTO MAX jackpot worth $60 million and also gone into the history books as the winners of the largest-ever jackpot in the province’s history.
John recalled with a laugh about when he had heard someone in Winnipeg had won the jackpot “I was jealous of whoever won…not knowing it was me.”
John had purchased his tickets online and did not realize that he had won after checking online the morning after the draw. It wasn’t until he received an email from PlayNow.com saying his ticket had won.
“I thought it might be a Free Play or something. But it said $60 million–I was confused, so I checked on PlayNow.com when I got home,” he explained. “And there it was; I didn’t see it earlier in the morning.”
John wil be sharing his winnings with his wife Jhoana, mother Angie and his Uncle Ben Lagman.
