The Aldergrove resident was on his way to work when he found out the good news.
鈥淚 thought, 鈥楾his can鈥檛 be real,鈥欌�� he recalled. 鈥淥nce I scanned it on my phone [the Lotto! App] it felt more real and I got shaky.鈥�
The first person to find out about his windfall was his father.
鈥淚 called him and he thought I was joking and didn鈥檛 believe me. He drove from out of town and once he arrived he realized it was real!鈥�
Albrecht said this win will 鈥渒ick start鈥� various opportunities for him and he plans to invest the majority of his prize.
The ticket was purchased from the Highway Town Pantry & Triple O鈥檚 on 72nd Avenue in 91原创.
