Maxmillions hat trick

Three Maxmillions winning tickets were sold on Vancouver Island in the Oct. 5 Lotto Max draw.

The three tickets were purchased in Victoria, Ladysmith and Sidney.

The first winner to come forward is Richard Allen Kraeker of Victoria, who matched all seven numbers to win a $1 million Maxmillions prize. Kraeker will split the prize with another winning ticket purchased in Quebec.

“I’m gobsmacked! I was just stunned, flabbergasted, speechless for a while and then, emotionally drained for a few hours,” says Kraeker. “I took the ticket home to show my wife and she screamed!” 

Kraeker plans to travel more and continue an active lifestyle with his wife.

“We like golfing holidays. My wife and I both play golf all summer and play sports all winter.”

The Ladysmith and Sidney winners have yet to come forward.
