Edmontonian ready for heat wave with $1M win on WESTERN MAX!

Michelle Stromsmoe is feeling rather relaxed despite the heat, after winning a cool $1 million on the May 24 WESTERN MAX draw! The Edmontonian said she went into the store on her work break to check her tickets and saw a win with several zeroes. 

“I thought I’d won $100,000 and I went back to work thinking about it,” she admitted. “But then I went to the WCLC website and saw a million was won so I manually checked and double-checked my ticket.” 

Sure enough, there were not five but six zeroes following that first digit! 

“When my husband came back from lunch, I told him I’d won but he didn’t believe me,” she laughed. “I had to show him the website and the numbers!” 

“It hasn’t sunk in yet,” she continued. “But it’s great! It’ll be good for our family.” 

Stromsmoe has plans to invest some of her winnings, but she also has her sights set on some overdue renovations. 

“We can finally do new windows,” she said. And build a new deck out front! There are a few things around the house I’m looking forward to.” 

Stromsmoe purchased her winning WESTERN MAX ticket from Shoppers Drug Mart at 9570 170 Street in Edmonton. She won one of the additional million-dollar prizes on the May 24 WESTERN MAX draw by matching the selection: 14, 17, 21, 24, 25, 30, 34.
