A lottery winner in Saskatchewan says she is going to be sharing the wealth with her two sons following her hefty win.
Evelyn McKenzie of Cumberland House is $100,000 richer thanks to the EXTRA she added to her Lotto 6/49 ticket for the August 31 draw.
McKenzie said she was hanging out at home a couple of days after the draw when she decided to go online to look up the winning numbers.
“I started checking, and I saw that I had all but the one EXTRA number,” she recalled to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) as she claimed her prize.
“I just thought, ‘Oh my God!’” A few days later, McKenzie told her sons she had something important to tell them.
Her sons initially thought something bad happened but were instead pleasantly surprised.
