A Peace River local has taken home the $219K Lightning Lotto prize after purchasing a ticket in Edmonton.
Darryl Calliou took home nearly $220K and says he heard about a Lightning Lotto win in High Prairie and decided to give it a shot, before winning big on his first try.
Calliou describes a feeling of disbelief when he saw the screen light up, and immediately told his girlfriend about the massive prize.
“I bought the ticket and watched the screen, I was like, ‘Wow!’ I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I don’t even know what we’ll do with this, we’ll pay some bills and go from there I guess.”
Calliou’s win marks the sixth top progressive Lightning Lotto prize in Alberta since the game launched in April. After his win, the total Lightning Lotto winnings in the province is now more than $3.5 million.
Calliou purchased his winning ticket at London Drugs located at 1494-8882, 170th Street in Edmonton. His winning numbers were 14, 15, 33, 34, and 38.
