Leslieville man wins $100,000 in LOTTO MAX draw

A central Alberta man has added some zeros onto his bank account balance after matching the last six digits of the winning EXTRA number on his LOTTO MAX ticket this summer.

Brad Fraser of Leslieville is now $100,000 richer following the July 31 draw.

Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) officials say Fraser had picked up his winning ticket a couple of days before the draw at Forhan’s Pharmacy at 5019 50 Street in nearby Eckville.

The Leslieville resident says he found out about his win the day after the draw by checking the winning numbers on the WCLC website and then racing out to use a ticket checker a couple of times to verify his win.

“I was in disbelief,” he laughed while claiming his prize in late September. “I definitely didn’t believe it was really $100,000!”
