Lahsen Rezrazi and Debbie Ramsay want a home on the ocean and to help family after winning a whopping $35 million from the June 6, 2023 Lotto Max draw.

The winning ticket matched all seven numbers, along with a ticket purchased in Ontario, to split the $70-million jackpot.

鈥淥n the way to pick up Debbie from work, I stopped by a Save-On-Foods to get milk and cream,鈥� said Rezrazi. 鈥淭hen I thought I would check my lottery tickets. I won $10, a free play and the last ticket I scanned said $35 million.鈥�

Rezrazi immediately called his wife who didn鈥檛 believe him at first.

鈥淚 thought something bad had happened,鈥� said Ramsay. 鈥淚t took everything in me not to scream, and I even went back to the store [where the winning ticket was purchased] to scan the ticket. I also downloaded [BCLC鈥檚 Lotto App!] to check as well!鈥�

BCLC awarded the life-changing prize today during a celebration in BCLC鈥檚 Vancouver office.

Thanks to their win, Rezrazi and Ramsay plan to purchase a house by the ocean and a Mercedes camper van to take an epic road trip across Canada, with several stops along the way to see family.

鈥淲e鈥檙e going to go surprise relatives at the door to give them money,鈥� said Ramsay. 鈥淗elping family is the biggest thing for us, and we can鈥檛 wait to see their faces!鈥�

There are a lot of emotions swirling for Rezrazi and Ramsay, as they have a lot to celebrate, including their upcoming wedding anniversary. However, they do agree on one thing that Rezrazi mentioned: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a lot of money!鈥�
