Bassano man wins more than $100,000 in Lotto 6/49 draw

One lucky Bassano resident says he plans to pay off the rest of his mortgage after winning big on the Lotto 6/49.

Jesse James Johnston picked up his ticket from Emme’s Esso along 12 St in Bassano a couple days before the June 13th draw.

Johnston says he regularly uses a combination of birthdays and favourite numbers to play several lottery games.

This time, it helped him match five of six numbers plus the bonus number to win $101,124 on the Lotto 6/49.

Johnston says he was shocked when he checked the winning numbers on the Western Canada Lottery Corporation website the day after the June 13th draw.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
