WINDSOR, ONT. -- A Windsor lottery winner says she had to triple check her winning ticket to believe she would be taking home $197,751.60.
Manon Magee, a Windsor factory worker, won the LOTTO 6/49 second prize in the March 24 draw.
“At first, I thought I won $197, I checked it three times and I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Everything was echoing, and I was sweating. I wrote down the amount that I won and I went home,” Magee said.
She says she went home to tell her husband about her big win right away.
“He didn’t believe me,” she said. “He thought I was joking until I showed him the ticket!”
Magee said she plans to buy a new car for husband, finish some home renovations and share her win with her children.
“It feels like I'm on a carnival ride with the anticipation, disbelief, and ultimately – joy,” she says.
Magee purchased her winning ticket from Sobey’s on Amy Croft Drive.
