Spurred on by his feeling and a strange dream in which his ex-girlfriends were trying to reconnect with him, Blaquiere went to a Lotto 6/49 retailer who confirmed he had won an $11 million jackpot.
Said the lucky Lotto 6/49 winner, 'The night of the lucky draw I actually dreamt that my ex-girlfriends were all trying to get back together with me, so when I woke up I knew that I had won for sure!'
Blaquiere confirmed he is a regular Lotto 6/49 and Lotto Max player, and usually checks his tickets once a month. He only checked his winning Lotto 6/49 ticket the next day, because of his dream.
Continued the starry-eyed Lotto 6/49 millionaire, 'I usually just wait until I have a stack of them and check them all at once. But something was sure telling me I better check these ones. It was funny.
'I was so sure that [I was a winner, that] I was almost calm when I saw I'd won $11 million. Except maybe for a little panic attack,' said Blaquiere. The precise amount he won was $11,023,074.20.
As for what Manitoba's latest instant Lotto 6/49 millionaire intends to do with his money, Blaquiere has already ordered a brand-spanking new luxury SUV and intends to give a wad of cash to his son.
