This new Lotto 6/49 winner in Canada won a $5 million jackpot.
He only just started buying tickets because his daughter was born, and now he's a millionaire!
WCLC recently announced that Satnam Singh of Saskatoon has won a $5 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot.
He scored the Classic Jackpot by matching all six numbers in the draw on September 27, 2025.
Singh purchased the winning ticket from Kahkewistahaw Gas & Convenience at 10-2150 Markham Avenue in Saskatoon.
The Lotto 6/49 winning numbers were 1, 7, 15, 19, 36, and 40.
He was dropping his cousin off at the airport and waiting in his car when he remembered he had lottery tickets to check.
"I scanned the ticket on the app, and the amount came up," he said. "I thought it was $5,000. Then, I realized it was $5 million."
Singh showed his wife the Lotto Spot app and asked her how many zeroes there were.
But he didn't tell her the number was a Lotto 6/49 jackpot.
Instead, he made sure he actually won the $5 million prize.
"I went to the store to check it, and everyone there said, 'Congrats.'"
"Then I went home and told my wife," Singh explained. "She said it was amazing."

Singh said he only recently started buying tickets when his child was born.
"I never really bought tickets before. We just had a daughter, so I thought I'd start buying lottery tickets," he revealed. "Now I can buy a home for us."
As a new dad, he is overjoyed to have the $5 million jackpot with Lotto 6/49.
He also said that he's excited for what this win means for his family and can't wait to share it all with them.
This is the second $5 million Lotto 6/49 win in Saskatchewan in less than a month!
Another $5 million jackpot was won in Outlook in the draw on September 6, 2025.
