$2M Calgary lottery winner ‘couldn’t sleep’ after his big win

A Calgary man took home $2 million from a Western 6-49 draw, which marks his second big lottery win.

A Calgary man is dreaming of a cruise and new house now that he’s won big in a recent Western 6/49 draw.

Stephen Churchill won $2 million in the March 15 draw and only found out about the win just before going to bed one night.

“I realized, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s really a lot of money!’” he said in a news release. “I couldn’t sleep after that!”

After telling his mom about the win, Churchill realized he could buy a house with his winnings, as well as plan a fun vacation.

“I’d like to go on a Caribbean cruise,” he said. “I’d like to go on a nice big ship because I like to explore them!”

This is the second time he’s won the lottery; he won $100,000 several years ago and used that money to take his family on a Disney cruise.

Churchill bought his winning ticket at the Circle K at 10 Chaparral Drive S.E. in Calgary.
