Lacombe man wins a cool million

Lacombe’s Gordon Lindholm needed to take a minute after he checked his LOTTO 6/49 ticket for the draw on May 23.

“I couldn’t believe it – I couldn’t count the number of zeros on the screen.”

Lindholm recalled using the ticket checker at the Mobil gas station at 5700 Highway 2A in Lacombe, the same store where he’d bought the ticket the day of the draw.

According to the machine, Lindholm was now $1 million richer after matching the winning guaranteed prize number – 39703621-01.
