Krystal McKay officially received her $5 million cheque from Lotto 6/49 Tuesday afternoon.
She is the first millionaire lottery winner in Manitoba in 2024, according to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.
“It was really overwhelming, exciting,” McKay said during a press conference.
The circumstances of the lottery win are special, as the ticket was a birthday gift from her partner Lawrence Campbell.
“She had been asking me for three weeks to get a ticket, but I never went and got one,” he said. “Then we drove by one, and I was like ‘OK, I might as well go get you one right now.’”
Lawrence purchased McKay a Quick Pick ticket for the January 20 draw for $12. The winning numbers were 1,6,12, 27,45 and 49 on the classic draw, and the ticket was purchased at the Canco Gas Station on Isabel Street.
