(Global News) A Winnipeg man and his family are the winners of the largest lotto jackpot prize in Manitoba history.

John Chua, along with his wife, Jhoana, mother Angie Chua, and uncle Ben Lagman claimed their $60 million prize Tuesday.

John said he was originally jealous that someone in Winnipeg had won the prize, not knowing it was him.

It wasn’t until he received an email from Playnow.com with a notice of a LOTTOMAX prize that he realized he’d won big.
