Richard Scotton was having a regular day until he checked his LOTTO MAX ticket. The North Battleford man won $100,000 on the Oct. 21 EXTRA draw.
“I went to the store to get a coffee and check my ticket,” he said. “I checked a few other tickets and they weren’t winners. Then when I scanned the winning ticket, I did a double-take looking at the amount.”
Scotton said at first he thought he had won $1,000, but then he counted all of the zeros.
“I said, ‘That’s $100,000!’ and then I went a little numb,” he laughed.
The new winner plans to put most of his winnings into savings, but first he’s going to do some work to his house and vehicle.
Scotton purchased his winning ticket at the Discovery Co-op on Territorial Drive.
“This is such wonderful news,” he said. “It’s such a blessing to win.”
