SASKATOON - Dale Hockley had a great day shopping and running errands with his wife, but the cherry on top? Winning $100,000! The Paradise Hill local won his prize on the October 18 Extra he added to his Western 649 ticket.
“We were busy running errands, and I checked my ticket when I was in the car,” he said at his prize claim interview. “I can’t remember what I was thinking, all I could do was sit there in shock!”
“I sat in the car for a while and checked the numbers over and over,” he laughed. “I think I was just trying to believe that it was real.”
The happy winner has a very exciting plan for his winnings – a concert and a getaway!
“We’re going to buy tickets to the Blake Shelton concert in Arizona – we’re hoping to get floor seats!” he said. “After that, I’m going to spoil my wife and grandkids!”
Hockley purchased his $100,000-winning ticket at Paradise Shell, located at 302 Highway #3 in Paradise Hill. He won his prize by matching the last six digits of the Extra number drawn on October 18 – 1223233.
When asked how it feels to win this prize, Hockley had a few things to say: “It feels great! My advice: buy the Extra! I spent $1 and got $100,000!”
