Airdrie Man Wins $1 Million Lottery, Plans New Home and Car

A resident of Airdrie, Alberta, is celebrating a life-changing win after purchasing a lottery ticket that revealed a prize of $1,000,000. Gurpal Parmar bought the $100 Ultimate scratch and win ticket during a brief stop at a Mobil gas station in Olds, Alberta. The moment of discovery left him overwhelmed with disbelief.
Upon scratching the ticket and confirming his win, Parmar described his reaction: “My hands were shaking, I felt like I needed to sit and have some water — I was in pure disbelief and had to pinch myself!” he shared during an interview with LottoSpot. His first call was to his mother, during which he recorded a video of himself checking the ticket, leading to what he described as “happy tears.”
Future Plans
With his newfound wealth, Parmar has exciting plans that include purchasing a new car and a house. He expressed a desire to treat his family, noting, “My family and I have never taken a family vacation, so we’ll probably do that as well!” This significant win not only promises to enhance his lifestyle but also offers an opportunity for cherished family experiences.
The purchase of the winning ticket at the Mobil gas station highlights the luck associated with such games of chance. As with all forms of gambling, including lottery games, it is important for players to remember the inherent risks involved. Lottery outcomes are based on chance, and individuals are encouraged to gamble responsibly. For those who may experience issues related to gambling, various resources are available for support.
Parmar’s story serves as a reminder of the potential for life-altering wins, bringing hope and excitement to lottery players across Canada. As he embarks on this new chapter, the community shares in his joy, celebrating not just the win, but the dreams it will help fulfill.
