Michael Healey couldn’t believe his eyes when he scanned his Lotto Max ticket and discovered he’d won $1 million in the June 18 draw.

He said this week he had to double- and triple-check his ticket before believing he was a Maxmillions-winning millionaire.

“I checked the ticket on the Lotto Spot! app a couple days after the draw,” he said. “I was in complete disbelief – that’s a lot of money!”

Healey is the third Yukoner to take home a lottery prize of $1 million (or more) since the start of this year.

He said he has a couple of ideas for his windfall, including paying off some bills, helping his family financially, and one day buying a boat.

“I’ve wanted to buy a new boat for a while,” he said. “Now it’s no problem, which feels great.

“The best part about winning is the fact that it’s going to make life easier,” he added. “That’s a dream come true!”

Healey purchased his winning ticket at the Trails North Car & Truck Stop on the Alaska Highway in Whitehorse. His Maxmillions-winning numbers were 16, 17, 24, 28, 30, 31 and 38.

Healey is one of 25 ticketholders in the Western Canada Lottery Corp.’s region to become a millionaire during Lotto Max’s longest-ever consecutive jackpot roll (17 draws, from April 23 to June 21).
