Million-dollar SET FOR LIFE winner in Red Deer

RED DEER- Alice Bilinski was sure her eyes were playing a trick on her after she uncovered three SET FOR LIFE symbols on her $5 ticket and won $1,000,000.

“I had a really hard time believing that I won,” she said. “It didn’t feel real to me. I felt like I was walking around in a fog for days after scratching my ticket.”

Although it took a little time to get used to the idea of winning the lottery, Bilinski said she has come up with a few ideas for her winnings.

“I have a couple of vacations in mind,” she said. “I have always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby, and to see Greece.

So I’ll definitely be taking a couple of awesome vacations soon.”

Alice also plans to share her windfall with a very special person.

“It’s important to me that I share of the money with my daughter,” she said. “I’m going to pay off her student loans – that’s something I’ve always wished I could do for her.”

Bilinski purchased her winning SET FOR LIFE ticket at Shefield & Sons, located at 283-4747 67 Street in Red Deer.
