Brian Evanoff was on his way home from Regina, SK when remembered he had a LOTTO 6/49 to check.
The Red Deer resident soon discovered he won $100,000 on the June 28 EXTRA draw.
“I was cleaning out my travel backpack and found a ticket to check,” he said. “I had to scan the ticket a few times to count out all of the zeros.”
The happy winner said he has a couple things in mind for his winnings.
“I need new glasses,” he said. “I’m also thinking about taking a Christmas vacation with my family.”
Evanoff purchased his winning LOTTO 6/49 and EXTRA ticket at Fas Gas Albert Street Service, located at 2565 7th Avenue in Regina.
