SASKATOON — Jeff Lennox had a few choice words when he checked his Lotto 6/49 ticket and discovered he won $250,000 on the July 2, 2022 draw, and he wasn’t the only one.
“I think the first thing I said was, ‘Holy f– !’” he laughed while claiming his prize in Saskatoon. “Then the guy behind me saw the amount on the screen and said the same thing!"
Lennox, who said he often lets his lottery tickets pile up before checking them all at once, purchased his winning Lotto 6/49 and Extra ticket from Tigger’Z Convenience Store, located at 700 15th Av. E in Prince Albert. He discovered his win at the same store – nine months later.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I was just standing there in awe.”
The winner said he hasn’t made any big plans for his windfall aside from putting some of the money toward his mortgage.
