Driftpile man picks up $100K lotto win

Driftpile’s Michael Ward says he had a few choice words after he scanned his POKER LOTTO ticket on January 27, where he discovered he had won $100,000 on the nightly draw.

“At first I thought I had won $100,” Ward recalled. “When I looked again and saw it was actually $100,000… well, I think it went something like, ‘Holy… Are you serious?!’”

Ward says he will put his winnings toward paying some bills and buying a new truck.

The Driftpile First Nations man picked up his winning ticket on the day of the draw – January 27 – at High Prairie Super A. He won his $100,000 prize by matching the five cards drawn on the nightly draw.
