$370K LIGHTNING LOTTO win strikes in Estevan!

Stephan Ellis is the latest in Saskatchewan to see a LIGHTNING LOTTO win flash across the screen.

The Estevan local won $370,319.50 on September 3 while during a gas station stop with his wife.

“I usually play LIGHTNING LOTTO when I see a larger jackpot,” he said. “I had a couple winning tickets to cash in when I stopped at the store, so I used the $14 [winnings] to buy a LIGHTNING LOTTO ticket—[the win] came up instantly on the screen!”

Ellis said the instant win left him and his wife shocked.

“I was dumbstruck!” he said. “My wife and I both couldn’t believe it.”

“It’s hard to sleep after you win like that,” he laughed.

Ellis said he’s excited to pay off his mortgage and invest the rest for the future.

“It’s a lot more exciting than I thought it would be!” he said. “I love that it’s an instant win!”

Ellis purchased his winning LIGHTNING LOTTO ticket from Fas Gas Plus at 1240 6 St. in Estevan. He won his prize instantly by matching all five numbers in the selection for the September 3 draw: 16, 25, 33, 40, and 42.

Myth:  I’ve noticed a pattern in the numbers that have been drawn over the past few weeks.

Fact:  Human brains like to look for patterns.  But any patterns you notice in lottery numbers are meaningless.  Looking at past numbers is like looking in the rearview mirror of your car – it doesn’t tell you what’s ahead.
