New Westminster man wins a million dollars from Save-On-Foods in Save-On-Foods Million Dollar Touchdown to Win

Two kick-offs returned for touchdowns in the same game earn Lyster incredible $1,000,000 grand prize; media invited to in-store celebration with winner.

LANGLEY, BC, CANADA, July 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Roy Lyster of New Westminster, B.C. has a million reasons to smile thanks to the Save-On-Foods Million Dollar Touchdown to Win promotion – which will award him $1 million on Friday, July 11.

Lyster won the grand prize during the July 4 game between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Toronto Argonauts, when Janarion Grant of the Argonauts and Isaiah Wooden Sr. of the Tiger-Cats each returned a kick-off for a touchdown.

In the promotion, customers are automatically entered to win by shopping at any Save-On-Foods across Western Canada and scanning their More Rewards card. They receive a bonus entry for each participating product purchased.

The first kick-off returned for a touchdown wins a randomly selected shopper Groceries for a Year. But if lightning strikes twice and a second kick-off is returned for a touchdown in the same game, it unlocks the $1 million grand prize – a game-changing moment for one lucky shopper.

This marks the first time Save-On-Foods has awarded the $1 million prize, to be paid in $50,000 annual installments over 20 years.

“We are absolutely thrilled to award Roy our first million-dollar prize as part of the Million Dollar Touchdown to Win promotion,” said Jamie Nelson, president of Save-On-Foods’ parent company the Pattison Food Group. “Roy has been a dedicated customer for more than 15 years and is often the first customer of the day at his store. It is incredible to be able to give back to such a loyal customer, and we hope this prize enables Roy and Glenda, his wife of more than 50 years, and their family to make lots of great new memories.”

The $1 million prize comes just five weeks into the CFL season, and there is still one more $1 million prize available to be won. That means another opportunity for customers to win big and take home “a little extra.”

Since Save-On-Foods took ownership of the Million Dollar Touchdown to Win promotion in 2019, 19 kickoffs had been returned for touchdowns until the July 4 game, and the company gave 19 lucky shoppers free Groceries for a Year.

In addition to kickoffs returned for touchdowns, Save-On-Foods awards a great prize for every touchdown scored in CFL games throughout the regular season, playoffs and Grey Cup.

Lyster has been a loyal customer of Save-On-Foods Marine Way in Burnaby for the past 15 years. The store borders New Westminster, the city where Save-On-Foods was founded 110 years ago as the Over-weight-tea store, where the company’s commitment to giving their customers “a little extra” began. He will officially accept his prize at an in-store event that members of the media are invited to attend.
