A Kinistino man is $100,000 richer after buying a Lotto Max ticket last month in Melfort.

Brian Shmyr got his winning ticket at the Circle K Convenience store on Saskatchewan Ave.

“I scanned my ticket on the Lotto Spot! app at home, ” Shmyr said in a release. “I jumped up, did a little dance…and threw my back out.”

He checked the ticket on June 15 to find out he had won; he then took it to the store to confirm his winnings.

“Once I verified it at the store, I did another little jig and some hoot and hollering,” Shmyr said.
