“Everyone was so happy,” says Taljinder Khangura, a Surrey resident who just won the $500,000 Extra prize in the April 12 Lotto 6/49 draw.
Khangura bought and validated her ticket at the lottery kiosk inside North Delta's Scottsdale Centre.
“I asked Tony [my lottery retailer] if he can check my two tickets,” she recalls. “One was not a winner, and the other was a winner, then I saw the prize amount!”
The first thing Khangura did was video call her daughter before telling the rest of the family about the half-million dollars. She says she plans to take them all on a big family vacation to Mexico.
“This has been a big financial assistance," she says, "This will make me less stressed.”
