The Western Canada Lottery Corporation has announced the latest lottery winners in southern Alberta.
Brenda and Michael Laham won $100,000 on a $20 CROSSWORD Scratch & Win ticket.
The couple from Milk River say they recently stopped for fuel in Lethbridge and bought the ticket.
When Brenda scanned the ticket in-store, the screen lit up with the winning number.
“I was shaking like a leaf, and I couldn’t breathe but I was smiling big,” Brenda said. “The first person I told was my husband, Michael!”
The pair does not have any firm plans for what to do with their winnings yet, but Brenda thinks they will pay some bills first.
The ticket was purchased from South Country Co-Op Chinook Gas Bar at 20-4140 4 Avenue South in Lethbridge.
