Overview

  • Lawrence Campbell says he bought a winning Lotto 6/49 ticket on January 19, 2024, but lost his ID and asked then-girlfriend Krystal McKay to collect the CA$5 million prize.
  • McKay accepted the winnings from Western Canada Lottery Corporation on his behalf, then ceased all communication, blocked his contacts and obtained a protection order.
  • Campbell filed a lawsuit in Manitoba’s Court of King’s Bench naming McKay along with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation and Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries.
  • McKay has denied the allegations and her legal team confirms she plans to file a formal defence in court.
  • The case underscores potential legal complications when lottery winners rely on third parties to claim large prizes.
