A Moose Jaw man recently found he’d won $100,000 when he checked his LOTTO MAX and EXTRA ticket. 

Ken Bullied said he initially wasn’t able to see how much he’d won, since he didn’t have his reading glasses on, and had to have his son-in-law check it out for him. 

Bullied bought the winning ticket at 7-Eleven on 13th Ave NW for the Sept. 17 EXTRA draw.
