Brandon Local Does a Double Take, Discovers $100,000 EXTRA Prize!

"I looked at it, then looked again, and thought, 'This can't be possible!'"

Julie Moore was expecting her routine ticket check to be just that: routine. Instead, a quick scan on the Lotto Spot app turned into a big surprise when she discovered she won $100,000 on the August 18 WESTERN MAX and EXTRA draw.

Then came the double take: "I looked at it, then looked again, and thought, 'This can't be possible!'"

But it was possible, indeed! Like many lottery winners, Moore needed a moment to process what she was seeing. After all, it's not every day a ticket check reveals a prize with five zeros.

While the reality is still sinking in, Moore already knows what's at the top of her wish list: "I’m going to buy a vehicle!"

When asked how it feels to become a $100,000 winner, Moore summed it up in just a few words.

"I’m overwhelmed,” she explained. “And very happy!"

The Brandon local purchased her winning ticket from North Hill Petro Canada, located at 100 Highland Avenue in Brandon. She won her prize by matching the last six digits of the EXTRA number drawn on August 18 – 6742623.

Myth: Players in big cities/provinces have a better chance of winning a jackpot.

Fact: Every selection has the same chance of winning as every other selection sold for the same game, regardless of where you purchase it. Over time, locations of winning tickets tend to reflect the total proportion sold in an area, but provinces and cities don’t win lotteries – individual people or groups do.
