A Calgary couple is celebrating a life-changing win after claiming a $2 million lottery prize.
The lucky winners, who have chosen to remain anonymous, purchased their winning ticket at a local convenience store in the city’s southwest. The couple says they were in disbelief when they realized they had won.
“I was stunned,” said one of the winners. “I couldn’t believe it. I had to check the ticket multiple times before it finally sunk in.”
The couple says they have been playing the lottery for years and have always dreamed of winning big. They plan to use their winnings to pay off their mortgage and take a much-needed vacation.
“We’ve been working hard for so long, it’s a relief to finally have some financial security,” said the other winner. “We’re also looking forward to treating ourselves and our loved ones to some well-deserved luxuries.”
The couple says they will continue to play the lottery, but now with a renewed sense of hope and excitement.
“We never thought we would actually win, but now we know it’s possible,” said the first winner. “We’ll definitely keep playing and who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky again.”
The winning ticket was part of the Lotto 6/49 draw on February 20, 2021. The couple says they plan to use their winnings wisely and are grateful for the opportunity to improve their lives.
Lottery officials say the odds of winning the $2 million prize are approximately one in 13.9 million.
The couple has chosen to keep their identities private, but their story serves as a reminder that anyone can be a winner. As the saying goes, “you can’t win if you don’t play.”
Congratulations to the lucky couple on their incredible win. May their story inspire others to keep playing and dreaming big.
