Moncton (N.B.) Harry Black Sr. from Miramichi N.B. was all smiles when he stopped by Atlantic Lottery to pick up his cheque for $1million this morning. He is the winner of the May 29 Atlantic 49 jackpot draw.
Harry plays his own numbers every week in hopes of one day hitting the big one. When he stopped by a local convenience store to pick up the winning numbers for the May 29 draw he got a nice surprise all his numbers matched!
When asked if he had any advice for future players he responded You cant win if you dont play!
Harry plans on taking an early semiretirement and helping his family with the prize money.
Kingstons Gas Bar in Miramichi N.B. will receive a one percent sellers prize for selling the winning ticket.
Atlantic Lottery is a public corporation owned by the governments of Nova Scotia Prince Edward Island New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. In addition to the more than $345 million awarded in prizes last year Atlantic Lottery also returned 100% of its profits thats more than $389 million to the four Atlantic Provinces. A lottery where everyone wins now thats a richer moment.
