"I checked the Lotto! App at home the Sunday morning after the draw and saw the $1-million prize pop up, which was unbelievable," Honeyman told the B.C. Lottery Corporation.Honeyman now plans to use the winnings on a cruise, as well as on other potential vacations in the future. "It has always been on our bucket list to go on a cruise through the Panama Canal," he said. "I’ve been looking into a luxury cruise!"
Honeyman says the unexpected windfall is "life changing" for the couple and will help set them up for the future. "It means my wife and I can enjoy our retirement and go on trips we’ve always wanted to take," he said.
