White Rock's Magdalena Gonzales won $500,000 in the Nov. 26 Lotto Max draw.

White Rock's Magdalena Gonzales screamed when she found out she had all of the correct numbers on a recent Lotto Max lottery ticket.

“I was at home, and I checked my ticket using the BCLC Lotto! app,” Gonzales said in a press release, recalling the moment she realized she won.

“I shouted loudly and went downstairs to tell my daughter. She came out and thought she may have to take me to the hospital.”

Gonzales matched four out of four Extra numbers in the Nov. 26 draw, making her the lucky winner.

The White Rock resident, who lives with her daughter and grandson, is very excited and plans to celebrate this lucky “amazing” win.

She purchased the winning ticket locally at the Red Rooster Food Store on Stayte Road.
