Milk River couple wins $100K on Scratch & Win ticket!

Brenda and Michael Laham won $100,000 on a $20 CROSSWORD Scratch & Win ticket. 

The Milk River locals purchased their Scratch & Win ticket when they stopped for fuel in Lethbridge. When Brenda scanned the ticket in-store, the screen lit up with the winning number! 

“I was shaking like a leaf, and I couldn’t breathe but I was smiling big!” Brenda laughed. “The first person I told was my husband, Michael!” 

Now that the two are celebrating their win together, they’ve started thinking about how they’d like to enjoy the windfall. 

“We have no plans yet,” admitted Brenda. “We will probably pay some bills and then we’ll see.” 

The couple purchased their winning $20 CROSSWORD Scratch & Win ticket from South Country Co-op Chinook Gas Bar at 20-4140 4 Avenue S in Lethbridge.

Myth:  I’ve noticed a pattern in the numbers that have been drawn over the past few weeks.

Fact:  Human brains like to look for patterns.  But any patterns you notice in lottery numbers are meaningless.  Looking at past numbers is like looking in the rearview mirror of your car – it doesn’t tell you what’s ahead.
