Lethbridge woman celebrates $1 million lottery win

Rebecca Robbins of Lethbridge won $1 million on Lotto 6/49, and she knows exactly how she is going to use it.

The Lethbridge winner won her prize on the July 3 Lotto 6/49 Gold Ball Draw.

“I always purchase Super Packs,” she says. “I had no idea I had won anything until the clerk checked the ticket on the lottery terminal.”

Robbins says she was in the store with her sister and was just “quietly freaking out.”

“When we got outside, we were both screaming,” adds Robbins.

Robbins notes the win has her feeling ready for the future. “I’m going to buy a house and make some investments. It’s amazing.”

Robbins purchased her ticket from a local gas station in Lethbridge.
