High River man plans to buy a new vehicle with $100K lottery win
A southern Alberta man says he plans to purchase a new vehicle with his recent lottery win.
Wayne Hosmer, a High River resident, bought his winning Lotto Max and Extra ticket from A Plus 1 Convenience on Third Avenue West.
He won his $100,000 prize by matching the last six digits in the Jan. 28 Extra draw: 5111717.
'I don't check online so I have to wait till I remember to check in store,' he said in a Monday news release. 'I think it's more fun at the checker to just put it underneath the scanner and see.'
After realizing he won, Hosmer says he walked home to show his wife.
'Our vehicle is aging so we'd like to get a new one for sure,' he said. 'I'm still thinking about what else I'd like to do with it.'
