Fort McMurray Local Wins $102,483.10 POKER LOTTO ALL IN Prize!

“I was surprised. I couldn't believe it."

Most lottery players have to wait a day or two for draw results to find out if they've won a prize. Henok Beyene didn't have to - he learned his prize right after buying his POKER LOTTO and ALL IN ticket. The Fort McMurray resident won $102,483.10 on the July 4 draw!

The result was so unexpected he assumed it wasn’t true.

"I thought there was maybe a mistake,” he explained. “I was surprised. I couldn't believe it."

Once the prize was confirmed, Beyene started thinking about how it could help him plan for the future.

"Maybe in the future [I will] buy a house,” he said. “[But in the meantime, I’ll be] investing this year."

Beyene’s six-figure win has opened new possibilities, and Beyene says it has also changed how he thinks about lottery wins.

"You don't think it's going to happen – everything is good!” he said.

POKER LOTTO lets players win by matching poker hands, and the ALL IN option adds more ways to win. For Beyene, a single ticket turned an ordinary day into one he won't soon forget.

Beyene purchased his winning ticket from the Real Canadian Superstore at 9 Haineault Street in Fort McMurray. He won his prize by adding ALL IN to his ticket for $1. He drew a Royal Flush, instantly winning $10,000 PLUS the growing jackpot, $92,483.10.
