A Canadian grandmother is over the moon after a recent lottery win. Luciana Luistro’s Lotto 6/49 ticket won her $1 million on the December 16 draw.
“I’m going to pass out!” she joked as she claimed her prize. “I’ve been playing since 1991, and I just can’t believe it.”
Luistro said she came to Calgary from Ontario to be closer to her grandchildren and is now looking forward to spoiling them.
“Maybe we can buy a house!” she laughed. “And pay off my daughter’s home!”
The Calgary woman purchased her ticket from the T&T Supermarket at Pacific Place Mall (999 36th Street NE).
$1 million still unclaimed
If you’re holding onto a Lotto 6/49 ticket from last March, check your ticket because you might be sitting on another $1 million prize.
A ticket purchased somewhere in Alberta (outside of Calgary and Edmonton) won a million bucks in the March 8, 2023, Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball draw, with the winning number 29731883-01.
Winners have one year to claim their prize.
