Manitoban wins $250K on EXTRA purchased just over the border

Alvin Vermette is ready to enjoy his retirement to the fullest after winning big on EXTRA.

The Russell, MB local stopped in at his local gas station to buy and check a couple lottery tickets, he was stunned to find out his LOTTO 6/49 had won $250,000 on the March 13 EXTRA draw.

“I didn’t know I had won until I scanned the ticket in store,” he explained. “I had to scan it a second time to try to count all the zeros.”

“Eventually I had to just give the ticket to the retailer to check because I was certain it must be a mistake,” he laughed.

But sure enough, he was a winner.

“I was in utter disbelief – just stunned!” he said. “I’m going to be sharing this with my family members and then see what is left to play with.” “It feels fantastic,” he added.

Vermette purchased his EXTRA ticket at Heartland Fuels Ltd. Located at 505 Kaiser William Avenue East in Langenburg, Saskatchewan. He won his prize by matching all seven numbers of the EXTRA draw on March 13—3 1 3 0 6 1 0.
