A Lacombe resident recently became a millionaire after checking her lottery ticket for the April 7th Western 649 draw. Trudy Allan is the lucky winner of $1 million.

“I always check my numbers online the day after the draw,” she said. “But I was in total shock when my numbers matched.”

Allen said she has one big plan for her winnings. “I’m going to retire as soon as the money is in my account!” she said.

Allan also hopes to take a vacation when COVID restrictions have been lifted. “I would like to travel when it’s safe to do so,” she said. “I’d like to see Europe and travel to as many countries as possible.”

Allen purchased her winning ticket at the Lacombe Rexall located at 5010 53 Street in Lacombe. Her player-selected numbers, a combination of birthdays and other special dates, were 7, 10, 11, 30, 31 and 49.
