TORONTO – Nancy Anderson of Duntroon has that “6/49 feeling” after winning $100,000 in the LOTTO 6/49 Super Draw on Dec. 23, 2020.
"This is my first big win. I only play when I'm feeling lucky!" shared Nancy, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings.
Nancy, a restaurant worker, said she was in shock when she discovered her big win at the store. "I had to check my ticket twice," she said. "I cried happy tears and felt a weight lifted off my shoulders."
She told her husband about her big win right away. "He was calm but very happy," Nancy smiled.
Nancy plans to pay bills, help her family, complete some home renovations and take a vacation with her winnings.
