Another winning lottery ticket belongs to a resident of Kindersley.

Donelda Proteau won $100,000 in the EXTRA draw from her August 6 LOTTO 6/49 ticket. This was a dream come true for the local winner who bought the $7 ticket at the Esso Your Express Mart, on 3215 Dunmore Road in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

According to a news release from the Saskatchewan Lotteries, Proteau couldn’t believe she won.
“I scanned my ticket on the ticket checker and knew I won more than $1,000, but I didn’t know how much more,” she said. “So I took my ticket to the clerk to check.” “I said, ‘Can you tell me if this is a joke?’” she said with a laugh. “The retailer asked me if I was a millionaire. I said, ‘I don’t think I’m a millionaire, but I’m something!’”

The lucky winner will use the money to get out of debt, and save the rest to pay off her bills.

Morgan Hadland of Kindersley also won $100 grand on the February 5 EXTRA draw this year.
