Dale McEwan bought his ticket in Dunmore, Alta., on April 1 and after an extensive verification process, his win was confirmed.
McEwan was presented with his cheque on Tuesday at the Hotel Saskatchewan in Regina.
“I can’t even describe it,” said McEwen. “Dreaming about winning and actually winning are two very different feelings. You think you know what it would feel like, but when it’s in your hands, your mind will not stop and you can’t even sleep.”
McEwan said the night after the draw, he was waiting to go out for dinner with his family and checked his tickets on the Lotto Spot! app. He shared the news with his partner right after the app told him he was a winner.
