Rose Belyan of High Prairie has won the lottery after buying a LIGHTNING LOTTO ticket.

She won $615,126.90 instantly when she purchased her ticket from the High Prairie Circle K store.

Belyan says she’s been playing that specific lottery since it launched earlier this year in April and watched the jackpot climb day after day.

“I was late for work, and had stopped to buy it on the way. The cashier told me I’d won, and I looked at the screen and started reading the number and was shocked!”

“I just stopped in my tracks. I said WHAT?!”

The High Prairie woman says she will use her six-figure winnings with friends and family.

“This will help me help a lot of people in my life. It’s just a perfect feeling.”

She won by matching all five numbers (3, 7, 12, 19, 49) in the LIGHTNING LOTTO selection draw on August 8, 2024.
