One St. Brieux man is now $100,000 richer after he added the EXTRA to his ticket for the August 2 LOTTO MAX draw.
Kent Carfantan discovered he won after bringing his ticket to the store to use the self-checker on August 13. He recalled being shocked about his prize, so shocked that he thought his winnings were much lower.
"A guy was sitting there having breakfast and I told him I just won $10,000," he laughed. "As I was signing, I didn't think it was right.”
Carfantan scanned his ticket again and was surprised when it said he had won $100,000.
"I didn't say a word; I just walked out," Carfantan said.
He purchased his winning ticket at the Country Crossroads at Junction HWY 2 & 41 in Wakaw on July 30. He won by matching the last six digits of the winning EXTRA number for the Aug. 2 LOTTO MAX draw – 6030644.
"I feel pretty happy and a little bit of shock," Carfantan added.
He says his winnings will go towards bills.
