A Regina woman is $500,000 richer after she matched all four numbers playing the Extra on Saturday’s Lotto 6/49 draw.

Lillian Williamson was on her way to Kelowna to visit her new great grandson, and decided to buy a ticket while they were passing through Golden.

“I’m still a little numb,” she said. “It’s still hard to believe. I’ve played lottery for over 40 years and never won anything major before so it’s a bit of a shock.”

She told NL News it was only her second time in the province, as she made a stop in Kamloops today to pick up her prize before heading back to Regina.

“A small amount of it is going to pay off my debt, and I will help my family out. I have a large family. Other than that, something is going to be put away so that I don’t have to worry about money.”

Williamson says she is planning a vacation outside of Canada for the first time in her life, and also plans to visit B.C. to see her great grandson more often.

“I’ve always dreamed I could go to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville,” she said. “The first thing I will have to do is renew my passport.”
