Fort McMurray Man Wins $100,000 on Instant LOTTO MAX Scratch Ticket
FORT MCMURRAY, AB. – Karanpreet Singh’s quick decision to scratch a lottery ticket in-store has turned into a life-changing moment. The Fort McMurray man is now $100,000 richer after winning one of the top prizes on a LOTTO MAX Instant Scratch & Win ticket.
Singh purchased the winning ticket at Uncle Bill’s convenience store on Signal Road. While most players wait to scratch their tickets at home, Singh decided to try his luck right away. “I scratched the ticket and gave it to the cashier,” he said. “I thought there was something wrong with the ticket because I don’t usually win.”
But there was no mistake. The cashier scanned the ticket, confirming Singh had won the $100,000 instant prize. “It feels amazing!” he exclaimed.
Singh, who describes himself as someone who rarely wins, already has plans for his windfall. “I’m going to pay some bills,” he said, “and save the rest for a down payment on a house.”
The winning ticket was part of the new LOTTO MAX Scratch & Win game, which offers players the chance to win prizes instantly without waiting for a draw.
For Singh, the win is a reminder that sometimes luck strikes when you least expect it.
