Wabasca local wins a $273K LIGHTNING LOTTO prize on pit stop!

Heather Oar won an electrifying $273,218.30 on LIGHTNING LOTTO! 

The Wabasca local was at a gas station with her family waiting in the car when she saw a life-changing number flash onto the lottery display screen. 

“I was shocked!” she laughed.  

Oar said she’s excited to make some upgrades with her winnings. 

“I am a hockey mom,” she laughed. “So, I need a new vehicle.”  

“I’m also excited to pay some bills and maybe buy a new wardrobe,” she continued. “It feels awesome!”  

Oar purchased her winning LIGHTNING LOTTO ticket from Riverside Convenience at 2001 Mistassiniy Road in Wabasca. She won her prize by matching the five LIGHTNING LOTTO numbers drawn on  the June 14 draw: 8, 10, 16, 22, and 26.

Myth: Choosing my own numbers makes me more likely to win.

Fact: Every set of numbers has an equal chance of being drawn, however you choose it. Quick Pick is by far the most common method of play in the Prairies and the North.
