A High Prairie woman says she stopped dead in her tracks after realizing she was about to become $600,000 richer after hitting the jackpot on Lightning Lotto.
Rose Belyan says she had been playing the game since it launched this spring, and after picking up a ticket on her way to work August 8th, she suddenly found herself staring at a jackpot win a little over $615,000.
“I was late for work, and had stopped to buy it on the way,” she explained. “The cashier told me I’d won, and I looked at the screen and started reading the number and was shocked.”
While she isn’t sure on the specifics just yet, Belyan says she will be spreading the wealth between family and friends.
“This will help me help a lot of people in my life,” she said. “It’s just perfect. A perfect feeling.”
