Ken Goltz is a regular player of the new Sport Select lottery game, Pools.
For the December 12th weekend football games, Ken picked mostly favourites and with the help of a few boxed games, he's now $159,156 richer!
The Yorkton resident purchased his $80 POOLS ticket for the Sunday and Monday football games from Super C & Gas Bar, located at 103 Gladstone Avenue North in his hometown. After watching most of the favourites win, Ken checked on the Sport Select website to see how many Pools winners had shared the prize pool.
"I thought there would be 10 or so. I was pleasantly surprised that I was the only winner!" Ken boxed four games - meaning he chose both teams as winners - and was the only player to correctly pick all 15 games on his Pools ticket. But that doesn't mean it was an easy road to riches; the last game played on Sunday night was a close one.
With less than five minutes left in the game, Dallas scored a touchdown making the lead for Philadelphia tight. Fortunately for Ken, Philadelphia came though in the end.
Ken said he plans to do some home renovations, pay off his mortgage and invest the rest of his windfall. "It's always been my dream to be debt-free!"
