Editor’s Note: Due to significant amounts of online harassment suffered in the past by local lottery winners, moving forward, rdnewsNOW has decided to no longer publish the names, likenesses or images of these winners. We hope this decision establishes a compromise between acknowledging significant local lottery wins while ensuring the privacy and safety of the winners. (since December 2022)

A Red Deer husband and wife are celebrating a $100,000 lotto win on the July 21, 2023 Lotto Max Extra draw.

The husband admits he had to get his son-in-law to triple-check the ticket before they would let his wife know.

“I texted a screenshot to my wife,” he said. “Honestly, I was in such shock. I had no idea what to do after realizing what we had won.”

The lucky winners say they’ll be paying off some bills and of course taking a family vacation.

Their ticket was bought at the Circle K located at 2127 50 Avenue in Red Deer.

They paid $1 to add the Extra to their ticket, and won by matching the last six digits of the Extra number drawn – 6460542.
