Pinehouse man wins $250K on LOTTO MAX ticket

Alex Ross was sure it was a joke when he scanned his LOTTO MAX ticket on the Lotto Spot! app and saw he won $250,000 on the Dec. 22, 2023 EXTRA draw.

“I had to scan it a couple times just to make sure,” he said with a laugh. “I stayed pretty calm when I realized, but my wife was overwhelmed.”

The Pinehouse Lake winner said he is excited to be debt free thanks to his windfall and plans to take a trip with his family.

“My wife and I love the outdoors,” he explained. “But we’re always stuck in the office. This lets us breathe a bit and take a day or two off.”
