A Calgary man is $66 million richer after claiming a Lotto 6-49 jackpot.
James Jutzi won the top prize on the June 15 Lotto 6-49 draw – taking home a record-breaking Gold Ball Jackpot.
“It’s a lot to digest, but I know I deserve a vacation, and I’m so excited,” Jutzi said in a news release.
He initially won $2 on a Lotto Max ticket from a separate draw and decided to put it back down for another ticket.
He purchased the winning ticket from the 7-Eleven at 3550 32 Ave. N.E. in Calgary. He won the prize with the selection 25057749-01 – a gold ball.
His first call after winning was to his boss.
“I’ve been working as a handyman since I was a kid. When I found out I’d won I said, ‘That’s it! No more work,’” he said.
