$100,000 EXTRA win in Lac du Bonnet!

"I had to check it a few more times and the whole store was staring at me."

Charles Kesler has a routine when it comes to checking his lottery tickets. A visit to the store, a quick scan, and then on with his day. But one recent ticket check was anything but routine.

The Lac du Bonnet local won a $100,000 EXTRA prize on the August 29 WESTERN 649 and EXTRA draw!

Kesler had stopped by one of his usual ticket-checking spots when he got the surprise of a lifetime. At first glance, he thought he'd won a much smaller prize.

"I first thought it said $10,000,” he explained. “I called the cashier over and they told me it’s actually $100,000!"

The extra zero took some time to process: "I had to check it a few more times and the whole store was staring at me."

Unlike some winners who know what they want to do with their windfall or start making plans immediately, Kesler is still deciding what comes next: "I have no idea what I am going to do,” he laughed.

Kesler purchased his ticket from at Dancyt’s Foods, located at 60 2nd Street in Lac du Bonnet. He won his prize by matching the last six digits of the EXTRA number drawn on August 29 – 2849877.
