Airdrie lottery player Gurpal Parmar struck gold with a $100 Ultimate Scratch & Win ticket, winning a staggering $1 million. The life-changing ticket came from a Mobil gas station in Olds, Alberta, making him the latest big winner in the region.
A Moment of Pure Shock
Parmar recalled the overwhelming moment of realizing his fortune. After scanning the ticket and confirming on the Lotto Spot app, disbelief set in. “My hands were shaking, and I felt like I needed to sit down with a glass of water,” he said.
Sharing the Big News
The first person Parmar shared his news with was his mother, marking the milestone with family at the center. His close-knit ties reflect his gratitude, as family remains a priority for how he intends to enjoy the prize.
Dreams Turn into Plans
Parmar says a new car tops his list, describing it as a much-needed purchase. Beyond that, he has his eyes on buying a new home and making smart investments with the jackpot.
Family Vacation on the Horizon
While financial planning plays a key role, Parmar also hopes to create lasting memories. “My family and I have never taken a vacation together, so this will be a first,” he shared. The million-dollar win is opening doors to experiences they had only dreamed about.
