Calgarian joins winners’ circle: $1M on LOTTO 6/49!

Christine Popowezki is one of several Calgary residents to win big on LOTTO 6/49 over the last few months! 

The Calgarian won $1 million on the LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball Draw for May 15. 

“I scanned the ticket myself [at the Lotto Spot scanner] and had misplaced my glasses,” she laughed. “I thought it was $1,000 at first, then I was just in complete shock!” 

Popowezki said prior to this win, her largest prize had been $75—a far cry from her new $1 million windfall! 

She said she intends to use some of her winnings to enjoy retirement and will also share it with family. 

Popowezki purchased her winning ticket at Lyn-Lyn Lottery and Remittance Kiosk in Superstore located at Unit 1 - 10505 Southport Rd SW in Calgary. She won her prize in the Gold Ball draw on May 15, with the selection 20358121-01, a white ball.
