How many times have you heard a lottery winner list off really boring things they’re going to do with their winnings?

Not Nanaimo's Curtis Wright. He’s got a really decadent dream for his winnings.

Wright plans on buying a luxury fridge after matching all 10 numbers in the Lotto 6/49 Feb. 15 draw to win the $1 million guaranteed prize.

“I have it all picked out, it’s a $16,000 fridge that I’ve wanted for a while,” said Wright, who bought the ticket at an Esso convenience store.

Wright also has a lot of money left over to fill that incredible fridge.

“I saw the ad for the Super Draw with the ‘OMG’ campaign on Saturday, a half hour before the draw,” says Wright. “I went out and bought the ticket about 10 or 15 minutes before the draw.”

Aside from purchasing the luxury fridge, Wright is taking a conservative approach with his winnings with plans to put the rest away into his savings.
