Bonnyville Resident Wins Big on Lotto Max

The biggest lottery prize ever awarded to a Bonnyville resident, was a $17 million dollar cheque with Vicki Barrett’s name on it. She purchased the ticket for the September 12th Lotto Max draw in Conklin, and says she was on the phone with her husband when she decided to check the ticket. “Well, I started freaking out and he didn’t know what was happening so he started freaking out. It was a crazy and immediate rush of adrenaline! I couldn’t believe it,” said Barrett in a release from Western Canada Lottery Corporation. She says they don’t have any specific plans for their winnings, but they plan to take care of their family.
