A Lytton resident is $191,000 richer thanks to the March 18 Lotto Max draw.
After a jampacked day, Jennifer Brown took a nap that ended up lasting until 2:30 in the morning. It was then that Brown decided to use her phone to check her lottery ticket. That is when she discovered her big win.
“I was at a big basketball tournament all week long,” recalled Brown. “When I woke up at 2:30 a.m., I checked the ticket on my phone and discovered I won! I thought it was $191, then I saw three more digits and started crying.”
The Lytton resident woke up her son to share the news. “He thought I got a leg cramp hence I was crying. I told him I won and showed him my phone!”
Brown is retired but stays busy with her role as a manager for the Junior All Native Tournament. “We’ve got 114 teams in total this year and my son is the coach!”
Brown plans to buy a new car and says she may take her son on a trip to Asia.
Brown purchased her ticket at Lake City Casino in Vernon.
