James Jutzi’s decision to reinvest his $2 Lotto Max winnings into a Lotto 6/49 ticket turned out to be the best decision of his life. On June 15, 2024, he became the record-breaking winner of a $66 million prize in the Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball draw.
After years of working as a handyman, Jutzi is now ready to bid farewell to the working world forever. His first act after discovering his win was to call his boss and inform him that he was now a wealthy man. Unsurprisingly, his boss was in disbelief and even asked if he could still come in to work, to which Jutzi responded with a resounding “No.”
Jutzi shared that he had been having dreams about winning the lottery since the 1980s, feeling certain that one day he would hit the jackpot. Even though he couldn’t see the exact amount in his dreams, he vividly remembered holding a cheque in his hands.
His win not only breaks records in Alberta but also spans the Prairies and the North. Jutzi’s win is a testament to his unwavering faith in his dreams and in God.
With plans to spoil his mom with a new Escalade and possibly treat himself to a Porsche 911 Turbo, Jutzi is excited to embark on this new chapter of his life. His win marks a dream come true for the hardworking handyman who is now free to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
