GP resident wins big on LOTTO MAX tickets he forgot about

Another Grande Prairie resident is enjoying some extra cash after a $100K LOTTO MAX EXTRA win they almost forgot to claim.

Darrin Charles gave everyone a good reason to check their coat pockets after the holidays after winning $100K on the November 15th EXTRA draw but didn’t check it until January after tucking it away during the Christmas season.

“I checked it on the Lotto Spot app about three times,” he says. “Then I went to the
store to scan it there [and] the cashier freaked out even more than I did!”

The Grande Prairie local says the win feels great, but he’s not planning on rushing into any major purchases with his newfound wealth.

“I’m just going to put it away for now,” he says.

Charles purchased his winning tickets from the New Horizon Co-op in Downtown Grande Prairie.
