A Whistler resident is $500,000 richer after splitting a Maxmillion prize in the December 23, 2025, 
Lotto Max draw with another player in Quebec. Cornelio G. said his hands were “shaking” when he 
first realized he had won.
“I used a self-scanner, then called my son to confirm if it was a comma or period,” he recalled. “He 
said it was $500,000.00!”
After confirming the amount, Cornelio shared the news with his son and hugged him. The winning 
ticket was purchased at Otter Co-op on Lake Placid Road in Whistler. Cornelio said he plans to use 
the money to pay off his mortgage and build a home in the Philippines.
On how it feels to win, he put it simply: “So happy. Really happy.” In 2025, B.C. lottery players have 
redeemed more than $248 million from Lotto Max.
Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m. 
(PST). Winning numbers and group release forms are available at bclc.com, and players can check 
their tickets on iOS and Android devices using the BCLC Lotto! App.
