Grande Prairie couple heading south to enjoy $54 million lottery win

54 big ones. That’s how much Grande Prairie’s newest multi-millionaires won during the December 28th LOTTO 6/49 Gold Ball Draw.

Sandra and Travis Fredland, both from Grande Prairie, are packing their bags and heading to Palm Springs to “lay low” and enjoy their $54 million win.

Travis says he checked the ticket multiple times, thinking there was “something odd” about it before he realized it was a major win.

“I must have checked the ticket about three times at the terminal,” he says. “I saw the number, but I still wasn’t believing it!”

The Grande Prairie couple already have several ideas about how to spend their winnings, but the two maintain they’re not planning on rushing into anything.

“Retirement, of course,” Sandra says.

“We’re going to Palm Springs to lay low and enjoy the win,” Travis adds. “We’ll take our
time to figure out how to spend this.”

The Fredlands purchased their winning ticket from the New Horizon Co-op in Westgate.
