Yorkton local wins $250K on $10 Scratch & Win!

Dinesh Bhatia is $250,000 richer after scratching a winning $10 CROSSWORD DELUXE Scratch & Win ticket!

The Yorkton local purchased his winning ticket from the Super C Esso at 103 Gladstone Ave. N in Yorkton and was shocked to see the major win!

“My friend suggested I try this ticket and I’ve played it a few times this year,” he explained. “I took this one in to scan at the till and thought I had just won $20… but the cashier had to call her manager over and told me it was $250,000!

“I just couldn’t believe it!”

Now, when he thinks about his new windfall, Bhatia is feeling entrepreneurial.

“My main priority is to open my own business and put the rest in savings,” he said. “I have no family with me here, so this will help out a lot!”

“I have no words… I just can’t believe it!” he smiled.

Myth: I’ve been playing the same numbers for 20 years – they must be due to come up soon!

Fact:  Draws are random.  The numbers are not spread out along a conveyor belt with each draw bringing your set of numbers closer.  No numbers are ever “due” and persistence, in this case, makes no difference.
