Saskatoon鈥檚 Terry Semchyshen is basking in a $100,000 windfall after the EXTRA on his LOTTO MAX ticket for the Dec.11 draw matched the last six digits of the winning number 鈥� 3881582.
Semchyshen picked up his winning ticket at the Discovery Co-op at 607 Carlton Trail in North Battleford and didn鈥檛 discover his win until a few days after the draw using a ticket checker in another store closer to home.
鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 believe it!鈥� laughed Semchyshen as he recalled scanning the ticket several times, certain what he was seeing was a mistake. He finally passed the ticket over to the cashier to verify it on their terminal and had it confirmed 鈥� he was about to be $100,000 richer.
Semchyshen doesn鈥檛 have any specific plans for the money yet, other than to pay off some bills.
鈥淩ight now, I鈥檓 just happy I won,鈥� he said.
