WESTERN MAX millionaire excited to hit the road with her family!
Bobbi Jo Nerubenko is ready for adventure after winning $1 million on the May 7 WESTERN MAX draw!
The Falun local said she used to go with her mom to buy tickets each week and has continued with the tradition since her mother passed away.
When Nerunbenko saw this ticket was a winner, she said she couldn’t help but think of her mom.
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” she said. “I checked it again on the Lotto Spot app and then ran out of the store hysterical!”
“I was in my truck screaming with excitement,” she continued, laughing.
The winner said she was thrilled to tell her son and husband, and already has plans in mind for her windfall.
“I want to get my ‘midlife crisis truck’,” she beamed. “And maybe a new camper for my son and I to go powwowing.”
“We’ve done it with tents in the pouring rain and it would be nice to have our own space to get ready!” she added.
Nerubenko said her family leads a humble life and is excited to see what they can do now.
“I would love to do more spontaneous things and travel a bit with my husband too!”
Nerubenko bought her winning ticket from Cree Convenience at 2 & 3 Samson Mall in Maskwacis. She won her prize by matching one of the 14 additional draws on WESTERN MAX’s May 7 draw— 9, 11, 12, 13, 21, 37, 49.
