Lloydminster couple take home lotto jackpot

A Lloydminster couple has a reason to celebrate after taking home their prize for an April 11th lottery win.

Larry and Gloria Lewis bought the Lotto 6/49 ticket back in April at Lloydminster’s Westend Esso. They hit five of the six numbers, taking home a total of $170,00o. After cashing in the ticket, Larry remarked that the win came as a surprise.

“The cashier said ‘I think you won $170,000 sir,’ and I just stood there trembling,”

Despite winning back in April, the couple decided to hold off collecting the prize, because they wanted to do it in person when lottery offices re-opened. These offices were closed to prevent the risk of COVID-19 transmission for staff and winners.
