A longtime lottery player from High River has scored a six-figure win.
Wayne Hosmer bagged $100,000 in the January 28 LOTTO MAX EXTRA draw.
According to a June 16 news release from Lotto Spot, Hosmer always checks his tickets in-store.
“I think it’s more fun at the checker to just put it underneath the scanner and see,” said Hosmer.
Upon seeing he'd won, he snapped a picture of the screen and rushed home to show his wife.
Hosmer said he’d never really considered what he might do with any potential winnings, but now that he’s got a tidy sum, he’s starting with a new ride.
“Our vehicle is aging so we’d like to get a new one for sure,” he said. “I’m still thinking about what else I’d like to do with it.”
His winning ticket was purchased at A Plus 1 Convenience, located at 90 3 Ave. W in High River.
