Spirit River local says it was “just another day” until winning $100K during LOTTO 6/49 EXTRA draw

It was an exciting day for one Spirit River local who didn’t even realize he was $100,000 richer after checking his LOTTO 6/49 EXTRA ticket.

Lawrence Campbell was not the first to realize he won on the December 11th draw, saying he was simply checking his ticket when the cashier started “going ballistic.”

“I was in the store checking my ticket and the cashier just started going ballistic,” he laughs. “She asked me if I was excited, and I told her- well, it’s just another day.” 

The confused Campbell still had yet to realize that he won big until the manager approached and confirmed the $100K win.

“They were both so excited and I was stunned,” he explains. “They even escorted me to my car!” 

Campbell says he is still coming to terms with his victory, and says he’s weighing options with how he plans on spending his newfound fortune.

“The kilometers on my car are getting up there so I may buy another one in the spring,” he says. “Otherwise, I’m not sure what I’ll do just yet.” 

Campbell purchased his winning ticket from Rycroft Co-op. He won the prize by matching the last six digits in the December 11th draw- 5447177.
