It was hard to believe!
Maryna Goncharova had a winning LOTTO MAX and EXTRA ticket in her purse for months before finally checking it and realizing she, and her partner Sergiy Goncharov, were $100,000 richer!
The Moose Jaw locals were grocery shopping when they scanned the ticket she had purchased for the August 13 EXTRA draw.
“It was hard to believe!” she said. “I checked the ticket three times to confirm but I saw right away I had won the $100,000 prize.”
“I checked it again later on the website just because I was so stunned.”
The winners intend to invest their windfall in their kids.
“We’re excited,” Goncharov said. “We never really thought about winning the lottery before!”
Goncharova and Goncharov purchased their winning LOTTO MAX and EXTRA ticket at Moose Jaw Husky located at 1670 Main St. N in Moose Jaw. They won their prize by correctly matching the last six digits selected in the August 13 EXTRA draw: 3976724.
