PRINCE GEORGE – While on a pit stop for gas, Bill Cash came across some ‘extra’ cash after learning that he won a $500,000 Extra prize from the May 9, 2025 Lotto Max draw.

“I gave my ticket to the retailer,” recalled Cash of the moment he realized he won. “They scanned it on their machine and then motioned me over to see the amount I won!”

The Prince George resident first shared the news with his daughter. “She said I was full of it.”

Cash plans to celebrate with friends and mentioned he will invest some of his winnings. He also is looking into purchasing a 57 convertible.
