Kimberly Kulbacki is happy she added the EXTRA to her ticket for the December 2 LOTTO MAX draw – that’s because the $1 addition won her the game’s top prize of $250,000.
The Neepawa resident purchased her ticket from the 7-Eleven Food Store at 10 Main Street in Neepawa on the afternoon of the draw. She won by exactly matching all seven numbers of the winning EXTRA number – 1159265.
Kulbacki discovered her big win when sh was picking up her ticket for the next draw. “I gave the ticket to the cashier,” she explained. “The bells went off, and the clerk said, ‘Congratulations, you won $250,000!’ I never thought someone would tell me that.”
The happy winner has a few ideas for her windfall. “I have two daughters that I’d like to help out, and then I’ll set up for retirement with a small home,” she said.
“It’s unreal!” she added.
