A southern Alberta man says he plans to invest his winnings after nabbing $100,000 on Lotto 6-49.
Derek Virostek from the hamlet of Rolling Hills won his money on the March 5 Lotto 6-49 and Extra draw.
“I never thought I would win anything big,” he said in a Wednesday news release from the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.
“I checked [my numbers] on the app and couldn’t believe it. I had to check it over and over – I’m still in shock.”
He won his prize by matching the last six digits of the March 5 Extra selection: 2280383.
As for his plans for the money, Virostek says he’s going to “invest and save the rest for my kids.”
