North Battleford, Saskatchewan, local Sheldon Graham won $109,672.70 and plans to start by buying himself a new wardrobe.
A North Battleford, Saskatchewan, man is still coming to terms with a $109,672.70 windfall after his sister discovered the unexpected amount while scanning his ticket.
Sheldon Graham said his sister used her iPad to scan the ticket, but initially thought the amount displayed on the screen could not be correct.
“She rescanned it several times and then said to me, ‘Sheldon! You’ve got to come look at this!’” Graham recalled.
The family then checked the numbers manually against those published online, confirming that the result was real. Graham subsequently called his mother over to see it as well.
The unexpected prize has already prompted Graham to think about what he might do with the money, although he admits he is still figuring things out.
“I’m going to buy a new wardrobe to start,” he said. “Then I just have to think about it!”
Graham said the win still does not quite feel real, although the reality is beginning to sink in.
“I’m really excited,” he said. “It doesn’t feel real but it’s starting to sink in!”
Graham purchased his LOTTO 6/49 ticket from the Co-op at 607 Carlton Trail in North Battleford. He won $109,672.70 in the April 25 LOTTO 6/49 Classic Draw after matching five of the six winning numbers plus the Bonus Number.
The winning numbers were 14, 23, 25, 28, 33 and 39, with 32 drawn as the Bonus Number. The Classic Draw prize was shared with another winning ticket in Edmonton.
