Lethbridge truck driver collects $100K lotto win

A Lethbridge truck driver recently won $100,000 on a $500,000 Jackpot Scratch and Win ticket he purchased at a store in Claresholm. 

Barrie Stephen says he was on his way to Edmonton when he stopped to grab a Slurpee and some tickets in Claresholm. “I scratched my tickets right away and thought, ‘this can’t be right.” 

So, he checked his ticket on the Lotto Spot app and sure enough, he won. 

The first person Stephen told was his mom. “I was happy. She was pretty happy too.” 

Stephen already has plans for his windfall.  “I was planning on taking my niece to Japan for her graduation, so I’ll start there and see what else I can do.”
