Carmen Austria, Gary Perkins, and Catherine Wall have been friends for decades and hoped to share a lottery win for nearly as long.
The trio also made history with their windfall, landing the first Gold Ball win not just in Alberta but for all of the Prairies, too.
“We’ve been friends for over 20 years and started buying tickets together 17 years ago,” said Perkins during the group’s prize claim interview. “Buying tickets was just a fun thing for us to do; winning together is what makes it so special.”
