A Lotto Max winner from Abbotsford, B.C., discovered he was $1 million richer while at work and had to keep his cool until the workday was done.

The lucky lottery winner was having an average day at work when he found out he won big in the September 13, 2022, Lotto Max draw. He said he even checked his ticket twice to make sure it was real.

Who won Lotto Max in BC?

Shaun Hill took home the $1-million Maxmillions prize from the September 13 Lotto Max draw.

Hill bought the lucky ticket at the Husky gas station on 216 Street in Langley. The Abbotsford man scanned his ticket on the Lotto! app while at work and said he was completely shocked by the win.

"I thought 'wow' and scanned it again trying to wrap my head around it. I had to finish off the workday as if nothing happened," he said.

Last month, another Lotto Max winner in B.C. was so shocked by the incredible news that he didn't even know who to make a call to first. He eventually told his wife though, and now is hoping to take a trip to Europe with the money.

What happens if you win Lotto Max BC?

BCLC said that for people who win a prize amount of $25,000 or more "you may need to claim your prize at either our Kamloops or Vancouver office."

The win will be verified, and they will take your photo and do an interview with you. "Your winner story may be shared on BCLC.com, social media, and other news outlets," they added.

For Hill, winning means that he gets to start planning to buy a new home and a vehicle with his money. On top of that, he also wants to take a trip to Hawaii and get out on the golf course while there.

As for how it feels to win big, Hill said that he is "surprised" and "delighted."

"It's going to make me comfortable for a while. I will never forget this win," Hill added.
