BONNYVILLE –  A local woman found herself caught in a loop when she scanned her WESTERN 649 ticket for the June 23 draw and discovered she’d won a hundred grand.  

Brenda Field, a Bonnyville resident, purchased the winning ticket from the Esso at 4602 50th Avenue in Bonnyville a day before the draw. 

Field said, “I just kept repeating ‘no fricken way!’ over and over again.” Laughing as she claimed her prize, she added, “I couldn’t believe it."  

Field discovered her win almost a week after the draw, and then proceeded to scan the ticket “between five and 10 times” – just to be sure, according to a media release from the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC).

Her plans are to use the windfall to become debt free and put the rest toward building a new home.
