Whitecourt resident claims January’s LOTTO 6/49 EXTRA pot

Apr 27, 2025 | 11:00 AM

A $100,000 prize from the January 29 LOTTO 6/49 EXTRA draw has finally found its home.

Shelly Bauer from Whitecourt was filling up her gas when she thought to herself that she should go check her tickets, as she usually saves up a few and checks them all at once.

That was when she discovered a $100,000 win.

After her win, Bauer says it felt “unreal” and plans on taking a vacation, but still hasn’t decided where to go.

She purchased the winning ticket from the 7-Eleven on 50 Ave in Whitecourt.
