Lottery win

Falher man wins almost $187,000 by going “ALL IN”

Feb 16, 2023 | 12:53 PM

A Falher man is happily in shock after winning big by adding a small extra on his lottery ticket last month.

On January 25, Alain Fournier was at Original Pete’s Confectionary in Falher and bought a POKER LOTTO ticket for that evening’s draw.

Fournier added the $1 ALL IN to the ticket, which ended up giving him the winning jackpot.

He drew a royal flush and instantly won $10,000, but the $1 ALL IN gave Fournier the grand prize of $186,979.

“I went up to the counter and purchased my ticket. I looked up at the screen and saw that I won the jackpot!” he exclaimed.
