Calgarian emotional after $1M LOTTO 6/49 win!

Tom Dimitroff won $1 million on the July 12 LOTTO 6/49 draw! 

The Calgarian checked his numbers on WCLC’s website and was thrilled. 

“I was pretty pleased!” he smiled. 

“My wife told me she thought I was full of s*** until I showed her the ticket,” he added, laughing. 

Dimitroff said it feels great to win, and even better to know what he can do with his windfall. 

“I have a granddaughter with special needs,” he said. “I’m going to be able to pay for some support for her and set her up with housing.” 

“It’s wonderful to tell my family that I can take care of them,” he continued. “I get choked up thinking about it.” 

Dimitroff purchased his winning LOTTO 6/49 ticket from Petro Canada located at 818-19489 Seton Crescent SE in Calgary. He won his prize in the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball Draw with the selection: 21035885-01, a white ball.

I can improve my chances of winning if I play “smart”.

Your personal strategies, superstitions or “lucky” rituals have no impact on the final outcome of a game. Due to the random nature of the draw, it’s impossible to predict what combination of numbers will be drawn or which SCRATCH ’N WIN ticket in the Retailer’s display will be a winner.
