CALGARY- The Chinese New Year has turned out to be especially lucky for a Calgary senior and her niece.

In February, Teresa Chee and Rosaline Tan decided that they would play the lottery together this year. Just one month later they cashed in big, with a $1 million winning ticket.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

Chee bought a Western 649 ticket for the March 20 draw, at the Shoppers Drug Mart near Crowfoot Crossing. The day after the draw, she called the winning numbers line to check her tickets, and her accompanying Quick Pick selection turned out to be a winner.

She says she doesn’t have any plans for her share of the million dollar winnings, but thinks she will invest most of it.

Tan joked that she may head to Disneyland.
