Alberta Logger Identified as $36 Million Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball Winner

The Whitecourt resident plans to keep life normal by returning to work, with the windfall earmarked for his Hinton-area logging business.

Overview

  • Stacey Boyce was publicly named on Nov. 4 as the winner of the Oct. 15 Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball $36 million prize.
  • He bought the ticket at Valley Mart on Market Street in Hinton and later confirmed the win after scanning it at a 7‑Eleven.
  • Boyce initially thought the slip showed $360,000 before recounting the zeroes and verifying the $36 million result online.
  • He plans to invest in his company, including purchasing trucks, and says he will head straight back to work rather than retire.
  • After calling a cousin who urged humility and wise investing, he told his daughter, who requested a pony as he vowed to ensure her a comfortable life.
