George Munro is done with work now that he’s won nearly $26 million.
Actually, he was done with work long before he and his wife, Rowena Inyallie, won the Lotto Max Draw on Feb. 22.
“This win comes at a perfect time as I was just thinking there’s no way I can do my job for another 20 years,” said Munro. “It’s really physically demanding.”
Despite now being a multi-millionaire, Munro wants to leave his job on good terms.
“I’ve let work know I can stay on until they find a replacement,” he said.
Inyallie is still in shock.
“We had one drink and then went home and I called my mother first,” she said. “She dropped the phone!”
B.C.’s newest multi-millionaires have already purchased a new Ford F350 and a new Ford Mustang Shelby is also on the way. After buying a few more toys, the couple plans on fixing up its house and helping out friends and family.
“We will have a big barbecue with family,” added Munro. “We also run a baseball team at home so I think brand new jerseys are in store for everyone.”
