BORDEN — Joe Prystupa didn’t believe his ears when he heard most of his Extra numbers being called for the May 29 Lotto Max and Extra draw.
“I phoned in to check my numbers,” he said. “I heard the Extra numbers, but I just thought, “that can’t be right. I’ll have to go and check.’”
Prystupa went to the store the following day and realized that what he had heard was true.
“I put the ticket through the self-checker and saw a lot of zeros,” he said. “I handed the ticket to the retailer and when the number came up on the screen all I could say was ‘Holy macaroni!’”
The new winner hasn’t put too much thought into what he will do with his winnings, but he is thinking he will look into buying a boat or a quad.
The Borden resident picked up his winning ticket at the Borden Co-operative Association, located at 108 Shepard Street.
