The 20X Supreme wasn’t part of his regular routine, McDougall said. He decided to forgo his usual scratch ticket at the Shell Lotto Spot location at 7535 75 St. in Edmonton, instead picking up what would become his winning ticket.

“I had been buying a different ticket, but I hadn’t won anything in a while,” he said in a Wednesday news release. “So, I thought I would try this one.”

McDougall handed the ticket to partner Thaiwan Warulang, with whom he will share the winnings, to scan on the Lotto Spot app to see what they had won.

“At first, I thought we won $2,000,” Warulang said in the release. “But there were too many zeroes for that. Then I thought maybe $200,000.”

“Matt looked at the screen and was like: ‘I think you missed a zero — that’s $2,000,000.’ Well, oh my God. We won two million dollars.”
