Millet local checks ticket from January and wins $500K on DAILY GRAND!

Dyetta Froese won $500,000 on the January 29 DAILY GRAND draw! 

The Millet winner held onto her ticket for months before finally checking it and was stunned to see it was a winner. 

“I had to check it several times,” she laughed. “I didn’t think it was a winning ticket and I’m so glad I checked it when I did!” 

Now Froese is mulling over options for her new windfall. 

“I think I’m going to invest it for now,” she said. “I honestly have no clue what I want to do with it yet.” 

Froese purchased her winning DAILY GRAND ticket from Flying J at 2194 Saamis Drive in Medicine Hat. She won her prize in the January 29 DAILY GRAND draw by matching all five main draw numbers in the selection: 6, 12, 21, 37, and 39.

Myth: Players in big cities/provinces have a better chance of winning a jackpot.

Fact: Every selection has the same chance of winning as every other selection sold for the same game, regardless of where you purchase it. Over time, locations of winning tickets tend to reflect the total proportion sold in an area, but provinces and cities don’t win lotteries – individual people or groups do.
