Yellowknife's Daniel Kudlak has $1 million more in the bank thanks to winning the Lotto 6/49's gold ball draw on June 29.

鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 believe it,鈥� he stated. 鈥淚 scanned the ticket once in-store, jumped back and thought, 鈥極h, my God!鈥�"

Kudlak said he looked around to make sure no one was watching and scanned his ticket a couple more times to make sure it was real.

By the sounds of it, the money's fallen into the right hands for Kudlak's community.

"We also support our Inuit community program by providing food for those less fortunate,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 something we鈥檇 like to continue to support.鈥�

Kudlak added he's going to pay off his mortgage and put some money away to help out down the line. There's also some things he wouldn't mind upgrading.

"We鈥檝e also been talking about getting a bigger boat,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e have a boat, but it鈥檚 not the biggest boat 鈥� I鈥檇 like to get one that can withstand the big lake.鈥�
