SASKATOON — Jennifer Roth was inspired to check her Lotto 6/49 ticket after learning that another Saskatchewan resident had won a lottery prize. Roth checked her ticket and discovered she won $100,000 on the April 29 Extra draw.
“I read about a winner in Saskatchewan and thought, ‘Wouldn’t that be nice?’” she said while claiming her prize in Saskatoon. “It’s very nice!”
The Rosthern winner said she is still thinking about what to do with her winnings but she said she will start by paying some bills.
“It’s so hard to wrap my head around,” she said. “I’m thinking, ‘Do we pay things off? Do we save it?’ So many things we can do!”
Roth purchased her winning Lotto 6/49 and Extra ticket from the Co-op Rosthern C-Store located at 900 Saskatchewan St. in Rosthern. She won her $100,000 prize by matching the last six digits of the Extra number — 1993213.
