Similarly, in Saskatoon, a new father, Satnam Singh, won $5 million after only recently starting to buy tickets, motivated by his newborn daughter. Singh bought his ticket from Kahkewistahaw Gas & Convenience and scored the jackpot on September 27, 2025, by matching numbers 1, 7, 15, 19, 36, and 40.
