A family of five added some zero’s to their bank accounts with an instant lottery win.
Winning $250K came up as the winning amount in the Instant Crossword Deluxe game.
The matriarch, Johanna said that she and her four children have been playing the lottery as a group for five years.
She called her daughter and was speechless over the phone especially after realizing that the win wasn’t just $250, there were three more zero’s at the end.
Johanna plans to take a trip back to England to visit family while, while the rest of the family will use their shares for their kid’s education, a trip and other luxuries to be decided.
The winning ticket was purchased at Mac’s on Dawson Road in Thunder Bay.
