The winner of the $1-million guaranteed prize in the Nov. 24 Lotto 649 draw has come forward.
Mark Laforest of Cranbrook says it’s going to be an extra special Christmas.
“I want to hand each of my siblings an envelope with a cheque for $100,000 ... they’re going to be so shocked,” he said.
Laforest said he heard someone in Cranbrook had won the million-dollar prize while attending a Grey Cup party. At home the next morning, he pulled up the numbers on the BCLC website and checked them multiple times to be sure.
Laforest plans to also check a few things off his bucket list.
“Africa – it’s a trip I’ve always dreamed about. The top priority, however, is family,” he said. “This win will allow me and my family to enjoy life a little more.”
