ARCHERWILL — An Archerwill resident is the province’s newest millionaire.
Dick Davis resident won $1 million on his $21 Lotto Max lottery ticket, brought at the Archerwill Co-op Bulk Service on Highway 35. He discovered his win at the same store the day after the draw.
“I was with my brother, getting gas. He checked his ticket and won $2; then I walked up and checked my ticket,” he said. “I started walking – pacing – around the store,” Davis said. “I started yelling, ‘Yes, yes, yes!’ I felt numb. It was just like a dream!”
Davis said his windfall will help him start a new life, as he recently moved back from Alberta to be nearer to his family. He said he plans to invest most of his prize, and he’s thinking about taking a trip to Ireland.
