Ken Stearns wasted no time in double-checking his April 22 lottery ticket after he realized that the EXTRA numbers drawn were a direct match to his numbers. The Preeceville resident won $250,000.
鈥淚 checked the numbers online and then scanned my ticket with the ticket checker in the Lottery Manager app,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 believe it!鈥�
The happy winner plans to use some of his winnings to help him go back to school, said a release from SaskLotteries. He also plans to invest a large portion of the money.
鈥淚t鈥檚 very nice to not have to worry about financial security as much,鈥� he said.
Stearns purchased his winning EXTRA ticket at Paul鈥檚 Drugs Ltd., located at 107 Main Street in Preeceville.
