St. Albert local ready to celebrate 50th anniversary after $109K LOTTO 6/49 win!

Peter Kirk won $109,586.50 on LOTTO 6/49 and now he’s ready to celebrate in style! 

The St. Albert local said he buys his tickets like clockwork. 

“I get LOTTO MAX and LOTTO 6/49 two times each week,” he said. “When the cashier scanned my ticket this time—I just about fainted!” 

Kirk was overwhelmed by the news for quite some time afterwards as well. 

“I was in shock,” he said. “I couldn’t drive because I was shaking too hard—My wife was with me and had to drive us home!” 

Kirk is excited to share his winnings with his children and grandchildren, and most of all to celebrate his anniversary a little bigger this year. 

“It’s our 50th wedding anniversary so we are thinking of going on an Alaskan cruise!” he smiled.  

“We are also doing a kitchen reno so we can add to it!” he continued. “It all is just hard to believe!” 

Kirk purchased his winning LOTTO 6/49 ticket from Shoppers Drug Mart at 140 St. Albert Road Village Landing in St. Albert. He won his prize by matching five of the six Main Draw numbers selected in the July 30 draw, plus the bonus number: 11, 13, 15, 16, 38, 48, and Bonus 25. The prize was split with another winning ticket in Ontario that also matched five of six numbers and the Bonus.
