$1 Million Scratch & Win in Taber!

Laredo Joblonkay is in disbelief after winning $1 million on a $100 LUXE MULTIPLIER Scratch & Win ticket! 

The Taber local said he’s been playing lottery tickets and Scratch & Win since 1972. 

Joblonkay stopped at a store to check a “big stack” of tickets under the scanner—he’d been saving them up. 

“I got to the very last ticket and saw a number with six zeroes and thought the scanner must be broken,” he laughed. “I was with my wife and son, and I checked the ticket again to show them.” 

“My son had some choice words I won’t share, and my wife and I were completely speechless,” he said. I was in complete shock and disbelief!” 

Joblonkay said he’s got some ideas in mind already to enjoy the windfall. 

“We are thinking of taking a family cruise to Hawaii—maybe a trip to see the Dallas Cowboys play—and make some investments as well,” he said. “We’re still deciding what we’ll do!” 

“It just feels amazing to win,” he added. 

Joblonkay purchased his winning $100 LUXE MULTIPLIER Scratch & Win ticket from Johnson Drugs at 5204 48 Avenue in Taber.

Myth: I’ve been playing the same numbers for 20 years – they must be due to come up soon!

Fact: Draws are random, and every draw is a separate event. The numbers are not spread out along a conveyor belt with each draw bringing your set of numbers closer.  No numbers are ever “due” and persistence, in this case, makes no difference.
