Brigitte Fedorowich of Port Elgin is thrilled after winning the guaranteed $1 Million prize from the May 28 LOTTO 6/49 draw, from a June 2 media release.

“My husband and I were checking our lottery tickets on Sunday evening,” shared Fedorowich while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where she picked up her winnings. “Suddenly my husband declared, ‘We won a million dollars.’”

To be sure, they reviewed the numbers again. “I got dressed and went straight to the store and used the ticket checker. Then I asked the retailer to validate my ticket. I decided I needed to get to the Prize Centre as soon as possible. This all happened yesterday and here I am,” said Fedorowich.

Fedorowich and her husband are thinking of purchasing a house. “We currently rent our home so we could be in the market to buy very soon. This win is still so fresh and I really don’t know what my immediate next steps are but we are looking forward to relaxing and feeling more secure. Life has had its share of challenges in recent times and this win means I will be worrying less about our financial future,” said Fedorowich.
