Yellowknife resident Joseph Walkden is the winner of $500,000 on a $30 Mega Cash scratch and win ticket, lottery organizers say.
The win was announced by the Western Canada Lottery Corporation on Friday. The date of the draw was not specified.
Walkden said he will use the money to buy a house, pay off debt and purchase two new vehicles.
“Oh, my God, man! It hasn’t really set in yet, but it’s fantastic,” he was quoted saying in a news release.
The ticket was purchased at Yellowknife’s Shell gas station.
