Calgarian ready to celebrate $1M LOTTO 6/49 win in true ‘Alberta style’!

Randall Donison got the boost his morning needed when he found out he had won $1 million on the LOTTO 6/49 March 30 draw.

“I hadn’t even had my coffee yet!” the Calgary winner laughed. “I’ll be honest, I never thought it would happen, and it didn’t look like my [selection] numbers matched but I always do a double check on the Lotto Spot app.”

That scan showed he had won the Gold Ball jackpot. It was a number he just could not wrap his head around.

“I started playing LOTTO 6/49 before they had the Gold Ball and extra jackpots” he said. “I must have checked it at least ten times on the app that day.”

“It took a while before I realized, ‘Hey, this is legitimate!’”

Donison was so excited, he recorded the sound of his in-app win announcement to share with family members.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen, but it’s really going to help,” he explained. “I’m putting a bunch toward my mortgage, helping out some family, and I’m probably going to buy a nice steak house dinner!”

“I’m honoured to have won and I’ll continue playing, for sure!”

Donison purchased his LOTTO 6/49 ticket from Shell at 3550 32 Avenue NE in Calgary. He won his prize in the Gold Ball draw on March 30, with the selection 33707194-03, a white ball.
