Maureen bought her ticket at the Superstore on Country Hills Blvd., and checked it the next day at a self-checker.
“I knew it was a big number when I checked it,” she adds. “I said to the clerk, ‘I think this is a big winner.”
“Her face turned a different colour when she checked my ticket.”
She says she plans to pay off some bills, and may also buy a new home.
