McLennan man wins over $680,000

A McLennan local has won $686,194 from an Aug. 10 Lightning Lotto draw.

Joseph Maure says he was very calm when he scanned his ticket, and had to tell the cashier he had won, because she didn’t even know.

Now Maure says he isn’t about “flashy purchases or extravagant celebration” and will put the money towards helping his immediate and extended family.

Maure purchased his winning ticket from Original Pete’s Confectionary on Main Street in Fahler.
