A Surrey man is $5 million richer after winning Lotto 6\/49.<\/p>\n
Roddie M was still in bed, getting ready for the day, when he got a notification that changed his life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a PlayNow account, so when you win, you get a notification. For me, normally it\u2019s a dollar or a free ticket. When I got this notification, I checked and saw a five with lots of zeros,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first, I thought it was a mistake. I checked the ticket and matched all the numbers. I didn\u2019t believe it. I woke up my son to tell him.\u201d<\/p>\n
He took his son out to the Keg to celebrate.<\/p>\n
He played his own numbers, which matched all six in the Lotto 6\/49 Classic $5 Million Jackpot from the April 22, 2026, draw.<\/p>\n
Winning the lottery was \u201csurreal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Surrey Dad celebrates $5M lotto win with son Published 6:30 pm Thursday, May 7, 2026 A Surrey man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655219,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,163792,87674],"class_list":["post-655218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-lower-mainland","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655218"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655218\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
