Saskatchewan Lotteries have announced that a Battleford couple has won $100,000 on their April 5 EXTRA draw.
The winners are Shelley Ayotte and her husband Roland. They purchased their winning LOTTO MAX and EXTRA ticket at Discovery Co-op Ltd, at 9800 Territorial Drive in North Battleford.
According to the news release from Sask Lotteries, neither one of them could believe it when they found out they had won.
Shelley learned about the win when checking her ticket at a local pharmacy. According to the Sask Lotteries news release, Ayotte said “I was just looking down to sign another ticket while the clerk checked this one.”
“I heard the machine make a different noise. I thought, is this for real?”
She called Roland who was at home making soup and told him to come over.
“He was at home making soup and said, ‘Do I have to come there?’ I told him we won; he thought I was joking with him.”
According to the news release the couple plans to put their winnings toward their upcoming retirement, which will help them do a little more travelling as well.
