"Woohoo!" Couple plans to share with their boys after $250K lotto win
A husband and wife from Sangudo, Alberta, are $250,000 richer after netting a huge windfall on an Extra draw earlier this summer.
Sherri Creber purchased the couple’s winning ticket from the Mayerthorpe Fas Gas, located 135 kilometres northwest of Edmonton. She bought a Western 649 ticket, adding the Extra to her ticket for the July 1 draw.
When she later went to scan the ticket, Sherri couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the Extra added to her ticket won her a nice $250,000.
“I had to look at the screen a couple times before it started to sink in,” she said. “Once I
realized it was real, I jumped up and down and literally yelled out: ‘Woohoo!’”
Before telling her husband, Glenn, who she’s sharing the prize with, Sherri first had to make a phone call.
“I called my parents first,” she laughed. “Then I gave Glenn a call and let him know.”
The lucky winners said they haven’t made many plans for their windfall but have a few ideas.
“We’re going to share with our boys and put some money in the bank,” said Glenn. “We’ll figure out the rest as we go.”
