January 17, 2018 · 0 Comments
Wilma Frivalt of Beeton is celebrating after winning a $76,224.30 prizefrom the December 30, 2017 LOTTO 6/49 draw.
“I play the lottery regularly,” shared Wilma, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to pick up her winnings. “I mainly enjoy playing LOTTO 6/49 and LOTTO MAX.”
Wilma is retired and has been happily married to her husband, Bill, for 40 years. Bill used the Ticket Checker to check Wilma’s tickets for her. When he noticed she had won big, he rushed over to her and said, “You have a winning ticket!” Wilma was in shock. “Everything was a blur,” she said. “It was hard to believe and process in that moment. Next thing I knew, OLG called to explain the next steps. It was amazing!”
Wilma called her daughter right away to tell her the exciting news about her windfall. “She was elated to hear the positive news and advised me to buy myself something nice,” Wilma said.
Wilma plans on using part of her winnings to enjoy her pre-planned trip to Ireland with her husband. The rest will be saved for her future.
“Winning the lottery is just amazing,” Wilma said. “Nothing compares to this moment. I am still in disbelief but feeling so grateful.”
