Calgary Local Wins $2M on WESTERN 649!

"I was pacing around the house in such shock,”

Rosabel Firme couldn't stop smiling – or scanning – after checking her WESTERN 649 ticket on the Lotto Spot app, the Calgary local scanned it repeatedly as she tried to take in an incredible discovery: she won $2 million!

For Firme, the discovery sparked equal parts excitement and disbelief: "I scanned it on the app in the morning time. I saw the number and had to scan it again and again."

As the reality of the prize began to sink in, sitting still wasn't an option.

"I was pacing around the house in such shock,” she laughed. “I just couldn't process it!"

The excitement only grew later that day when she shared the news with the rest of her family.

"Later that night I told my family,” she said. “They couldn't believe it, so we scanned it on the app again so they could see it's real!"

While the win is still fresh, Firme already has a thoughtful plan for the prize money: "I plan to pay off my mortgage, and any outstanding bills. I’ll invest the rest."

Firme purchased her winning ticket from Shoppers Drug Mart, located at 101-600 Saddletown Circle NE in Calgary. The winning numbers for the September 2 WESTERN 649 draw were: 4, 9, 11, 26, 39 and 45.
