Knott said he plans to put some of the money toward building some cottages with his brother and turning them into a treatment centre or a wilderness experience on Big Stone Lake.
“We were inspired by all of the big companies that have come up north to build remote fly-in fishing resorts. We thought, ‘If they can do it without knowing the land, we definitely can too.'”
He also plans to share the money with his wife and kids.
Knott’s winning numbers were 1, 24, 26, 29, 30, 45, and 50.
