Barry Anstett from Owen Sound, Ont., wins $1 million but plans to keep life simple
Owen Sound: So, Barry Anstett just hit the jackpot, winning a cool $1 million in the Triple Millions lottery. Can you believe it? This guy, who’s 56, is keeping it real despite his newfound millionaire status.
He said he wants to let the win sink in before making any big decisions. For now, he’s just going to carry on with his usual routine. Sounds pretty chill, right?
Barry’s been playing the lottery for a few years, mostly sticking to Lotto Max and Lotto 6/49. But this time, he decided to give the Triple Millions a shot. He bought his winning ticket at Canadian Tire Gas+ in Collingwood.
He used the Quick Pick option, which randomly selects numbers for you. When he scanned his ticket at the store, he was totally blown away by the amount that popped up on the screen.
“I was surprised and a bit anxious, but really excited too,” he shared. Once the initial shock wore off, he couldn’t wait to tell his family.
At first, they didn’t believe him, but once they realized it was true, they were over the moon for him. How awesome is that?
The Triple Millions game ran for a limited time, and Barry snagged one of the three top prizes. With all that cash in the bank, he’s keeping things simple for now, but who knows what the future holds?
