Fort McMurray local wins $1M on $10 Scratch & Win ticket!

Yogeshwaran Sivayogam and Jefelyn De Jesus of Fort McMurray are celebrating after winning $1 million on
a $10 $1,000,000 ULTRA Scratch & Win ticket.

“When I scratched the ticket, I saw that a couple numbers matched and then I saw how much we’d won,” Sivayogam explained. “I was in shock and then called my wife at work to tell her!”

At first, his De Jesus was skeptical: “She couldn’t believe it and thought I’d lost my mind,” he laughed. “When I
got home, I showed it to her to prove it was real!”

The prize comes at a meaningful time for the family.

“We’re going to pay all our bills,” he smiled. “We had to close down our restaurant last year, so this is going to
help us greatly.”

“We feel very happy and blessed!” he added.

Sivayogam purchased the winning Scratch & Win ticket at Chevron, located at 312 Gregoire Drive in Fort
McMurray.
