Slave Lake resident wins $1 million

Nov 3, 2026 | 9:33 AM

A Slave Lake resident has won $1 million.

Surjit Minhas says she had to scan their $100 Luxe Multiplier Scratch & Win ticket multiple times just to count the zeroes she were seeing pass by.

“I think finally on the third scan I counted the zeroes backwards and knew how much it was,” Minhas told Lotto Spot. “I also got a copy of the receipt from the cashier.”

Minhas says she’s being practical with their winnings.

“So far, I’m just going to pay off a bit of debt,” she said. “I’m happy. I still can’t believe it!”

The winning ticket was purchased from the East Side at 6 Ave SE in Slave Lake.
