Summerland Woman Scores $1-Million Guaranteed Prize from Free Play!

Winner Anne

$1,000,000.00

Congratulations Anne!

Summerland’s Anne S. is still in disbelief after her free play for the Lotto 6/49 draw on December 15, 2021 resulted in her winning the $1-Million Guaranteed Prize.

“I got a free play from my [previous] ticket, and that free play was what actually won the million,” said Anne. “I wasn’t sure if it was real or not! My husband and I told one group of friends and they thought we were joking.”

Anne purchased her ticket on PlayNow.com and was with her husband at home when she checked her e-mail and found that she had won.

“I was in my living room, and I saw in my e-mail that I won a prize. I thought ‘okay, it’s probably one dollar.’ I showed my husband, and we were checking the numbers,” said Anne. “He said ‘no, those aren’t your numbers,’ but then he figured out the Guaranteed Prize and ours matched.”

Anne says she plans on sharing some of her winnings with family, donating some to charity, and saving for retirement.
