Grande Prairie man wins $100,000 from lottery ticket

A Grande Prairie man is $100,000 richer after he discovered he had a winning ticket on the November 22 EXTRA draw.

“I was pretty surprised,” said Suleyman Erci while claiming his prize. “I wasn’t hyper or anything like that, I tried to keep as mellow as possible, but I was really surprised!”

Erci said in a news release that he will be putting most of the money towards a down payment on a house.

“I’m happy I’ll have smaller mortgage payments to make,” he explained.
