Fort Macleod mother wins $100K on EXTRA!

Melorie Yellow Wings won $100,000 on EXTRA! 

The Fort Macleod local said she scanned her ticket in store and was in such disbelief she had to take it to the cashier to confirm it. 

“My kids were with me,” she said. “And we were all so excited!” 

“My kids want to go to Disneyland,” she chuckled. “As for the rest, we need a new vehicle for the family.” 

Yellow Wings said to her the win feels like a major blessing. 

“We can pay bills and get some new furniture; it just feels great,” she said. 

Yellow Wings purchased her winning LOTTO MAX and EXTRA ticket from Piikani Travel Centre located at Highway 3 (Crowsnest Highway) and Range Road 283 in Brocket. She won her prize by matching the last digits in the November 29 EXTRA draw: 1709796.

Myth: I’ve been playing the same numbers for 20 years – they must be due to come up soon!

Fact: Draws are random, and every draw is a separate event. The numbers are not spread out along a conveyor belt with each draw bringing your set of numbers closer.  No numbers are ever “due” and persistence, in this case, makes no difference.
